Ninety-Fifth Street Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 30% of California elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 4,089 out of 5,862 schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year. The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, which have risen from 15.3% in 2017-2018 to 52.1% in 2021-2022, notably higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the Los Angeles Unified School District and the state of California.

Addressing the root causes of high absenteeism, targeting interventions to support underperforming student subgroups, and providing additional resources to address the unique challenges faced by students from low-income families will be crucial for improving the overall performance of Ninety-Fifth Street 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.
