Spotlight On African American Students In Los Angeles
SPOTLIGHT ON AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS IN LOS ANGELES
IF AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS IN LAUSD WERE ONE DISTRICT, THEY WOULD BE THE 11TH LARGEST IN CALIFORNIA “ As the Black Student Achievement Parent Leadership Team, we would like to thank you for diving into sensitive data on Black students in Los Angeles. We are a team of Black parents, educators, and community members that deeply understand and know the power, knowledge and resiliency of the Black community - our community. We are saddened by the academic findings for Black students in Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) schools outlined in this brief. We strongly believe that all students, especially Black students, can achieve at high levels. This is not only a belief, but a fact given that there is no achievement gap at birth. Black children do not come into this world at a deficit. Schools are falling short in preparing Black students to achieve their full potential. The district enrolls more than 50,000 Black students, but only three out of 10 of those students are on grade level in English and only two out of 10 are on grade level in math. These findings weigh heavy on our hearts and push our team to work with community members to find and work toward solutions that will improve the academic experience and well-being of Black students in LAUSD. By showcasing these findings for Black students, we hope to join parents and other stakeholders in Los Angeles to disrupt the current power structure that continues to produce poor academic outcomes for Black students.

About 6% of students are low-income and African American (39,813 in total). With over 620,000 students enrolled, LAUSD is the second largest school district in the nation. It is by far the largest school district in California. If LAUSD African American students were served by one district alone, that district would be the 11th largest in the state, larger than districts like Oakland Unified and Riverside Unified. AFRICAN AMERICAN ENROLLMENT BY SCHOOL TYPE Most African American students are enrolled in traditional district and magnet schools. 46,163 73% District Clovis Unified 46,106 Riverside Unified 42,428 Stockton Unified 40,840 Sweetwater Unified 40,734 Kem High 39,520 Fontana Unified 37,176 29% Magnet 27% Charter Source: California Department of Education, student enrollment files, 2017-18 Source: California Department of Education, Largest and Smallest Public School Districts, 2017-18 1 Source: LAUSD Office of Data & Accountability, African American enrollment by school type, 2017-18 2
WHILE MORE AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS ARE GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL THAN IN PREVIOUS YEARS, ONLY HALF OF THESE GRADUATES ARE ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR A UC OR CSU. ALL KIDS CAN LEARN AT HIGH LEVELS, BUT SCHOOLS ARE FALLING SHORT IN PREPARING AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS. In Los Angeles Unified, only 31 out of 294 schools* reach the statewide average in English and math for their African American students.

REGARDLESS OF WHERE AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS LIVE, THEY HAVE A VERY SMALL CHANCE OF ATTENDING A HIGH-PERFORMING SCHOOL. FIGURE A: MOST SCHOOLS HAVE RED OR “POOR” GREATSCHOOLS FIGURE B: MOST SCHOOLS HAVE GREEN OR “GOOD” RATINGS FOR THEIR AFRICAN STUDENTS AFRICAN AMERICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS GREATSCHOOLS RATINGS FOR THEIR WHITE WHITE STUDENTS STUDENTS GreatSchools Rating for African American Students in Los Angeles Unified, 2017-18 GreatSchools Rating for White students in Los Angeles Unified, 2017-18 Poor (1-3) Average (4-7) Good (8-10) Not Available African American Students: Out of 235 schools in LAUSD with at least 20 African American students enrolled, 166 have a red (or “poor”) rating for African American students. Most of these schools are in South Los Angeles. Only 14 schools achieve an eight, nine or a 10 rating for this subgroup. 5 The maps below provide a picture of the quality of schools in LAUSD based on GreatSchools’ Ratings.3 The map on the left (Figure A) shows school performance for African American students at the school. The map on the right (Figure B) shows school performance for White students at the school. These maps demonstrate a stark reality: regardless of where African American students live, they have very few options for a high-performing school. Poor (1-3) Average (4-7) Good (8-10) Not Available White Students: Only 15 schools in the entire district have a red (or “poor”) rating for White students. In fact, 145 out of 351 schools in LAUSD with at least 20 White students enrolled achieve a green (or “good) rating for White students. Most of these schools are in higher-income neighborhoods of Los Angeles. 6
GOING DEEPER Beyond academic outcomes, it’s important to also understand students’ experiences at school. Parents may ask, “Is my child excited to go to school every day? Do they feel safe and welcome at school?” Below are a few findings that help answer these questions. MANY AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS DO NOT FEEL WELCOME AND SUPPORTED IN THEIR SCHOOLS According to the 2017-18 LAUSD School Experience Survey results4, more than half of African American students don’t consider their school to be a supportive and inviting place to learn and only half of all African American students felt their teachers grade them fairly. 57% do not feel supported Source: LAUSD School Experience Survey Results, 2017-18 WHILE SUSPENSION RATES HAVE DECREASED OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS ARE STILL MORE LIKELY TO BE SUSPENDED THAN THEIR PEERS. SUMMARY The 50,557 African American students in LAUSD make up one of the largest student populations in the state. Yet, they are being let down by schools and poorly prepared for college and career. Summarized below are some key findings highlighted in this brief: 1 2 3 7 Only three out of 10 African American students are on grade level in English and only two out of 10 in math. While graduation rates are high, only half of all African American graduates are eligible to apply to a UC or CSU. Regardless of where African American students live, they have very few options to attend a high-quality school, whether it’s charter or district. One-hundred sixty-six out of 235 schools in LAUSD with at least 20 African American students enrolled have a red (or “poor”) rating for African American students. While LAUSD schools have decreased their suspension rates over the past few years from 7% in 2011-12 to 3% last year, for every White student suspended, nearly four Black students are suspended. LAUSD has the second highest rate of suspensions of Black male students in California5. In this brief, we flagged 17 schools for high suspension rates6 compared to the state average. 1 White student suspended vs. 4 Black students suspended Source: California School Dashboard, Suspension Rates, 2017-18 AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS HAVE THE HIGHEST RATES OF CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM IN THE DISTRICT. More than 1 in 5 African American students misses 15 or more days of school, double the rate of White and Latino students. Negative experiences at school and lack of engagement contribute to chronic absence7 which means African American students have fewer opportunities to learn.

This brief shows how LAUSD schools are serving African American students based on the latest state test scores in English and math, graduation rates, and the percentage of graduates that have completed the coursework necessary to be eligible to attend a UC or CSU. African American students make up 8% of students in LAUSD. This spotlight includes all of the schools in Los Angeles serving at least that same percentage of African American students. We start with schools serving the smallest African American student populations and progress to those serving the most. 8-25% African American students 25-50% African American students MORE THAN 50% African American students ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS SERVING AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS Source: California Department of Education, California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP), 2017-18. California Department of Education, four-year cohort graduation rates and University of California/California State University (UC/CSU) eligibility requirements, 2017-18. Notes: 1. We included a neighborhood variable from the Los Angeles Times neighborhood map of Los Angeles County. This allows readers to more easily find and identify the schools in their neighborhood. 2. Schools with data highlighted in blue have reached or exceeded the state average for all students in English or math for their African American students. 3. Schools with nontraditional grade spans are included more than once on this sheet. Performance data was calculated with publicly-available data, and may be limited for some schools due to suppression by the California Department of Education. 4. We denote which schools have magnet programs. A magnet program is a themed school within LAUSD that is open to all students, regardless of neighborhood. Some magnet programs occupy entire school sites and some are smaller programs located within a larger campus. LAUSD’s magnet program was created in the 1970s as part of a court-ordered desegregation plan intended to increase racial equality in schools. Denotes a school that had a “red” suspension indicator on the California State Dashboard for that subgroup of students. This means that school has an especially high suspension rate for that subgroup of students and/or a significant increase in suspension rate from the previous year. 9 10
