Summary:

One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Street Elementary is a public elementary school in Gardena, California, serving 566 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 871 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Street Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (37.5%) and Mathematics (31.39%) that are lower than the Los Angeles Unified and California averages. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Disabled students. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.1% in 2017-2018 to 45.0% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as One Hundred Eighteenth Street Elementary and One Hundred Twenty-Second Street Elementary, also perform below the district and state averages, suggesting a broader challenge in the local area. However, some schools, like Chapman Elementary, which is just 1.68 miles away, perform significantly better than One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Street Elementary. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage at One Hundred Thirty-Fifth Street Elementary may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance, and the school's challenges are not unique, as nearby KIPP Compton Community and Barack Obama Charter schools also struggle academically.

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.
