Nevin Avenue Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently performing below the district and state averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 33.04% of Nevin Avenue students were proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, compared to 43.06% for Los Angeles Unified and 47.04% for California.

Nevin Avenue's performance is particularly low in Science, with only 12.5% of students proficient or better, compared to 27.35% for Los Angeles Unified and 32.68% for California.

Nevin Avenue Elementary also faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 8.1% in 2017-2018 to 35.5% in 2022-2023, notably higher than the nearby schools, which range from 24.9% to 39.9%.

While Nevin Avenue's performance is not the lowest among its peers, addressing the high chronic absenteeism and targeting interventions for its Hispanic and Low Socioeconomic Status students could be key areas for improvement, as the school looks to learn from the higher-performing Synergy Charter Academy and Vernon City Elementary.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
