Summary:
The Multicultural Learning Center District in Canoga Park, California, is home to a single public charter elementary school, Multicultural Learning Center, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 474 students.
Multicultural Learning Center has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic enrollment (84.39%) and smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, is consistently lower than the statewide California averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average, and a high percentage of students (58.44%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the challenges faced by Multicultural Learning Center, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California elementary schools, with a ranking of 4204 out of 5848 schools in the 2022-2023 school year and a 1-star rating out of 5 by SchoolDigger. Addressing the factors contributing to the school's academic underperformance, high chronic absenteeism, and serving a population with significant economic challenges may be crucial for improving the educational outcomes and overall success of Multicultural Learning Center.
