Hollywood Elementary

Q: Is Hollywood Elementary a good school?

Hollywood Elementary ranks 4262 nd of 5862 California elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Hollywood Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Los Angeles Unified School District. With 193 students, it is a relatively small school compared to some of the nearby schools. Unfortunately, Hollywood Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of California elementary schools over the past few years, receiving 1-2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

Hollywood Elementary's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 31.08% of Hollywood Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 43.06% for the Los Angeles Unified School District and 47.04% for the state of California. The school's performance in mathematics and science is also lagging behind nearby schools like Grant Elementary, Van Ness Avenue Elementary, and Vine Street Elementary.

Hollywood Elementary has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 38.2% in the 2021-2022 school year, which is significantly higher than the district average of 19.4%. The school serves a high-needs population, with over 92% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. While the school performs relatively well for English Language Learners, it struggles with its Hispanic student population and has a notable performance gap between male and female students. Despite these challenges, the presence of higher-performing schools in the immediate vicinity suggests that there may be opportunities for Hollywood Elementary to learn from its neighbors and implement strategies to improve student outcomes.

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.
