Summary:
The ISANA Palmati Academy District consists of a single, high-performing K-8 school serving 360 students in California, ranking in the 82nd percentile among districts statewide.
ISANA Palmati Academy stands out for achieving academic results significantly above state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, despite serving a student population where nearly 90% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has maintained a consistent 4-star rating, with notable strengths in 4th and 8th-grade ELA proficiency and strong math performance in the lower grades. This demonstrates a successful model of supporting student achievement within a high-needs community, supported by a per-student spending level above the norm.
Key areas for attention include a dip in 6th-grade math and ELA scores, suggesting a potential challenge with the middle school transition, and a chronic absenteeism rate that is higher than the state average. While science performance is above the state average, it lags behind the school's own results in other subjects. Overall, the school provides a stable, high-quality education that effectively helps students excel academically.
