Summary:
The PUC Lakeview Charter Academy District consists of a single public charter middle school, PUC Lakeview Charter Academy, serving grades 6-8 in Lake View Terrace, California.
This school serves a student population with very high economic need, and while its overall academic performance in English, math, and science is below the California state averages, it shows important positive trends. The school's statewide ranking has improved significantly over the past few years, moving from the 32nd to the 41st percentile. Notably, its 8th graders are performing at or above the state average in English Language Arts, demonstrating strong achievement in that subject area. However, a major challenge is chronic student absenteeism, which is nearly ten points higher than the state average and likely impacts learning.
Performance varies notably by grade, with 7th-grade math scores being a particular area for concern, while 8th-grade results are stronger. The school operates with a per-student spending that is higher than typical, indicating significant investment in its students. For parents, the data suggests a school that is showing improvement and has a key strength in 8th-grade English, but one that also faces significant attendance challenges that affect overall outcomes.
