Public Grades 6-8

of 2,761 California Middle Schools

Better than 18% of California middle schools

Summary

Audubon Middle is a public middle school serving about 450 students in grades 6-8 within the Los Angeles Unified district, consistently ranking in the lower quarter of all California middle schools with proficiency rates in English (29%), math (15%), and science (9%) that are below district and state averages.

The school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, as 42% of students miss too much school, which is more than double the state average and higher than most nearby schools like Pio Pico Middle (21%) and Stella Middle Charter Academy (22%). Despite having substantial resources, including one of the lowest student-teacher ratios in the area and the highest per-student spending among comparison schools at over $38,000, these advantages have not yet translated into stronger academic outcomes compared to neighboring charter schools.

There are signs of recent improvement, however, as the school's statewide ranking has risen from the 2nd percentile in 2023 to the 18th percentile in 2025, and test scores have increased. Audubon shows relative strength in serving specific student groups and, like other schools in the area with similar student populations such as ICEF View Park Preparatory Middle and Crown Preparatory Academy, demonstrates that demographic challenges can be addressed with effective school models.
