Ambassador School-Global Education

Summary:

Ambassador School-Global Education is a public elementary school serving 316 students in grades K-5 in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of California elementary schools over the past several years, earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

Ambassador School-Global Education faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates reaching 32% in 2021-2022, well below-average proficiency rates on standardized tests, and subgroup performance that is consistently in the bottom 20-30% of California elementary schools. The school has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, at over 94% in recent years, indicating a high-need student population. When compared to nearby schools, such as Hoover Street Elementary, which has significantly higher proficiency rates and a 4-star rating, it becomes clear that Ambassador School-Global Education is an outlier in terms of academic performance.

Addressing the challenges at Ambassador School-Global Education will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach focused on equity, targeted interventions, and leveraging the strengths within the school community. Improving student attendance and addressing the unique needs of the diverse, high-need student population could be key levers for improving academic outcomes. While the school's performance has been consistently low, the data suggests that there may be pockets of success, and identifying and scaling effective instructional practices from these bright spots could be a strategy for overall school improvement.

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.
