O'Melveny Elementary

Summary:

O'Melveny Elementary is a public elementary school located in San Fernando, CA, serving 378 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 871 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

O'Melveny Elementary generally performs better than the district and state in English Language Arts (ELA) assessments, with 46.15% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 43.06% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate of 56.1% is also significantly higher than the district (41.21%) and state (42.8%) averages. However, the school's Mathematics proficiency rates are lower than the district and state, particularly in 4th and 5th grades. O'Melveny's Hispanic and Special Education students perform relatively well, but the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students have struggled, ranking in the bottom 15% of California elementary schools in recent years. The school also faces high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.2% to 39.1%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Nearby schools like Danube Avenue Elementary, Dyer Street Elementary, and Telfair Avenue Elementary generally perform at a similar or slightly lower level than O'Melveny in academic assessments. However, Haskell Elementary Sci Technical Engr Arts And Math (STEAM) Magnet, located about 2 miles away, consistently outperforms O'Melveny and the surrounding schools in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and exploring strategies that have been successful with O'Melveny's Hispanic and Special Education students could be valuable for improving the overall performance of the school and its students.

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.
