Summary:

Seventy-Fourth Street Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 362 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.

Seventy-Fourth Street Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California elementary schools over the past decade, with significantly below-average performance on standardized tests compared to the district and state. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 28.41% of the school's students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 43.06% for Los Angeles Unified and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was 31.43%, while the district and state averages were 32.83% and 35.54%, respectively. The school's performance has been consistently low, with little to no improvement observed.

Seventy-Fourth Street Elementary has a high percentage of African American and Hispanic students, as well as a large proportion of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. While the school's African American students have performed relatively well, the Hispanic and low socioeconomic status students have struggled, ranking in the bottom half of California elementary schools for these subgroups. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also increased significantly, from 16.5% in 2017-2018 to 37.0% in 2022-2023, which is substantially higher than the district and state averages. These factors, combined with the school's stark underperformance compared to nearby schools, suggest potential equity issues within the district that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve the educational outcomes for Seventy-Fourth Street Elementary's 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.
