LOS ANGELES—As Angelenos are losing confidence in the quality of education in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), which is troubled by declining academic performance and enrollment, district officials are looking into tutoring as a potential solution for learning loss during the pandemic.

The recent poll conducted by Great Public Schools Now, a nonprofit organization focusing on LA’s public education, reported that 70 percent of participants rated LAUSD schools’ quality of education negatively, and 73 percent of voters voted “no” when the poll asked if they believed every LA neighborhood has a good K–12 school.
