Trinity Street Elementary

Summary:

Trinity Street Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving grades 2-5 with a total enrollment of 209 students. The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and equity concerns.

Trinity Street Elementary has seen a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.6% in 2017-2018 to 31.6% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the Los Angeles Unified School District and California state averages. Academically, the school consistently performs below the district and state averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 21.85% of Trinity Street Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 43.06% for the district and 47.04% for the state. The school also struggles in Science and Spanish/Reading/Language Arts assessments.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Quincy Jones Elementary, Harmony Elementary, and Twenty-Eighth Street Elementary, also perform below the district and state averages. However, the charter schools in the area, like Synergy Charter Academy and Gabriella Charter 2, tend to outperform the traditional public schools, suggesting that the charter school model may be more effective in this community. The high chronic absenteeism rates at Trinity Street Elementary appear to be closely linked to the school's poor academic performance, and the significant performance gaps between different student subgroups raise concerns about equity and the school's ability to provide equal educational opportunities for all 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.
