Summary:
The city of Pacoima, California is home to 12 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 1 high school. The schools in this community face significant challenges, with high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism across the district.
Among the standout schools, Pacoima Charter Elementary and Montague Charter Academy have relatively strong test scores compared to the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. However, the public charter high school, Bert Corona Charter High, has a high graduation rate of 92.5% despite its test scores being below the state average.
The data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the systemic challenges facing the Los Angeles Unified school district and the broader Pacoima community. Improving attendance, providing additional resources for economically disadvantaged students, and implementing effective instructional strategies could all help to boost academic outcomes across the schools in this area.
