Leadership Military Academy District

The Leadership Military Academy District consists of a single public charter high school, Leadership Military Academy, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 143 students. While the school has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 90.9%, it consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of California high schools and significantly underperforms the state average in academic achievement.

Leadership Military Academy's student population is predominantly Hispanic (66.43%) and African American (21.68%), with a large majority (75.52%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's academic performance is alarmingly low, with only 30.95% of students proficient in English Language Arts, 2.44% proficient in Mathematics, and 6.25% proficient in Science, compared to the state averages of 55.41%, 27.36%, and 26.91%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 43.1%, which can significantly impact student learning and achievement.

Overall, the data suggests that Leadership Military Academy is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, as evidenced by its consistently low statewide ranking, significant academic underperformance, high chronic absenteeism, and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The school may need to implement comprehensive improvement strategies to address these challenges and better support the academic and social-emotional needs of its students.
