Summary:

The Iftin Charter District has one K–8 school, Iftin Charter, serving 531 students; the available area profile consists of this school and comparisons with California. In 2025–26, the school’s all-grades proficiency was below the state in ELA, math, and science: 37% versus 49% in ELA, 34% versus 38% in math, and 19% versus 36% in science. Math was closest to the state, while science had the largest shortfall, at 17 percentage points below California. Science is the clearest overall area of concern.

There is no second school in the district data to compare, but results vary considerably by grade. Sixth-grade math is the strongest reported bright spot: 44% proficient, 7 points above the state’s 37%; eighth-grade math is also slightly above California, at 38% versus 36%. Third-grade ELA is the sharpest grade-level concern, at 17% compared with 44% statewide, a 27-point gap. ELA’s gap narrows in each reported grade, reaching just 1 point in eighth grade. Math is also uneven: grades 3–5 fall 11–15 points below the state, while grades 6 and 8 are above it.

Recent changes show improvement in ELA and math relative to California, but a setback in science. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, the ELA gap narrowed by 2 points and the math gap by 3 points; the science gap widened by 4 points. SchoolDigger rates Iftin Charter at 2 stars and ranks it 4,012 of 5,804 California schools, at the 31st percentile: an improvement from the 28th percentile in 2024–25, but below its 50th-percentile standing in 2023–24. Context measures include a student–teacher ratio of 31.2 in 2024–25 and 79% free/reduced lunch eligible that school year; chronic absenteeism was 17.5%, compared with 18.3% statewide in 2025–26.
