Summary:
The Crete Academy District in Los Angeles, California contains just one school, Crete Academy, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 330 students. This elementary public charter school faces significant challenges, with its students performing well below state averages on standardized tests and the school consistently ranking in the bottom 5-10% of California elementary schools.
Crete Academy's student population is predominantly non-white, with 63.03% African American and 35.45% Hispanic students, and the school has an extremely high rate of 92.12% free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a student body that comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This high poverty rate likely contributes to the school's low academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science all falling far short of the state averages.
Despite the clear need for improvement, Crete Academy has shown no signs of progress in recent years, with its rankings remaining in the bottom 5-10% of California elementary schools over the past three school years. Significant interventions and support may be required to turn this underperforming school around and provide the level of education needed for its students to thrive academically.
