Ellen Ochoa Learning Center

Summary:

Ellen Ochoa Learning Center is an elementary school in Cudahy, California that serves 1,134 students in grades K-8. It is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 871 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

While Ellen Ochoa Learning Center is part of the same district as several nearby schools, it consistently underperforms them on key metrics. The school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.0% in 2017-2018 to 32.9% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the 20.4% to 38.9% range of nearby schools. Additionally, Ellen Ochoa Learning Center's test scores in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics are consistently lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 31.38% of students were proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, compared to 43.06% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was just 20.4%, compared to 32.83% for the district and 35.54% for the state.

The school also struggles to support certain student subgroups, with Hispanic students, English Language Learners, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students all ranking in the bottom half of California schools. Furthermore, Ellen Ochoa Learning Center has an extremely high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at over 96% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the 82.53% to 96.32% range of nearby schools. These socioeconomic challenges, coupled with the school's declining performance over the past decade, suggest that targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve student outcomes at Ellen Ochoa Learning Center.

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.
