3rd Graders Meeting or Exceeding California Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy

Note, information is based on location of the school, not students’ community of residence. Third grade represents a key transition point for reading proficiency and literacy as children are expected to make the shift from learning-to-read to reading-to-learn. Children found to have low reading skills in the 3rd grade are at increased risk for poor academic outcomes, which can have profound consequences for future health and longevity.

Justice Equity Services Index (zip code)

The Justice Equity Services Index (JESI), by Advancement Project California, provides policymakers and advocates with the ability to detect where there are greater or fewer community-based organizations providing the vital services needed to support the communities most impacted by our justice system. The JESI groups service types into four main components to align with the broader service spectrum embraced by initiatives such as Measure J and the ATI Initiative, they include: * Health & Wellness, including behavioral and physical health and wellbeing services. * Housing & Employment, including housing, shelter, employment, and career training services. * Prevention & Intervention, including prevention, reentry, and youth development services. * Community Services & Advocacy, including human services, advocacy, and community action services. The JESI offers advocates a comprehensive picture of community-based, justice-related, care-first providers and their functions in L.A. County. Each JESI component also includes a unique score to give a more nuanced view of where there is greater or lesser service capacity for each essential justice-related service.

Survey results are visualized on the LA County Limited English Communities map at [https://apps.gis.lacounty.gov/static/ARDI/limited-english/]. Created by: Lupe Renteria Salome Date Created: 8/29/2024 Last modified: 12/19/2024 Source: USC Equity Research Institute analysis of outreach data collected by Comunidades Indígenas en Liderazgo (CIELO), Los Angeles County, 2021-2023. Data Included: Individuals who self-reported "yes" to the question of being from an indigenous community and/or reported that they speak an Indigenous language. You will find a "Blank" and "0" column that counts respondents who did not report an indigenous language. Subtract these counts from the "total" column to calculate total respondents who reported speaking any indigenous language. Data set includes all reported values for zip_code, some that may not be complete zip codes or not in LA County.
Maximum Extent Evacuation Zones - LA County Fires 2025

Genasys official zones that were set to evacuation warning or evacuation order status at any point during the LA County fires in Jan. 2025. Data as of 1/23/2025. Notable Fields: most_extreme_status: The highest level of alert assigned to the zone (Evacuation Order or Evacuation Warning) incident_name: The name of the fire associated with the zone Sources: * Genasys Official Zones of Evacuation Warning or Evacuation Orders (pre-fire boundaries and current boundaries WFS feed) - used to associate zone boundaries with alerts issued during the fires * Genasys Change Log - exports from Genasys system of changes to zone status * IPAWS Aware notification boundaries - used to verify and visually assign zone status as needed Additional Notes: * Genasys Zone ID (zoneId) breaks down into "Country", "State", "County", "City", and "Zone Sequence". City-Zone sequences were used without the subzone designations to ensure the geography was captured. * Manual visual verification of GENASYS initial zones was required due to overlap, gaps, and variation of boundary features. Some liberty was taken with purposeful nodes within IPAWS. For questions, please contact ISD-Enterprise GIS at [egis@isd.lacounty.gov].

Lead Exposure Risk Index

This indicator provides information about lead exposure risk for census tracts in Los Angeles County based on self-reported housing and poverty data. Using [methods implemented by New York University for the City Health Dashboard], a lead risk index score ranging from 1 to 10 was assigned to each census tract with available data, with a score of 1 indicating the lowest risk and a score of 10 indicating the highest risk for lead exposure. Lead is a heavy metal that has negative impacts on nearly every system in the body, particularly the brain, kidneys, and blood. Although lead paint was phased out in the 1970s, legacy lead paint and dust remain primary sources of lead exposure in the US. Literature on lead poisoning consistently finds two factors to be correlated with lead exposure risk: the age of houses (which predicts the likelihood of lead paint) and poverty. While all people can be affected by lead, young children and pregnant persons are the most vulnerable. Irreversible neurodevelopment effects, including decreased IQ, shortened attention span, and reduced fine motor skills, occur at even low levels of lead exposure. At high levels, anemia, high blood pressure, seizures, and death can occur. There is no known safe level of lead exposure for children.
