Summary:
The Alliance Virgil Roberts Leadership Academy District contains a single middle school, Alliance Virgil Roberts Leadership Academy, serving grades 6-8 with 399 students in Los Angeles.
This school serves a community with high economic need, where 95% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite a very high investment of $19,390 spent per student, academic performance is significantly below state averages across all subjects, with mathematics being the greatest challenge. The school has consistently received low state rankings over the past several years, placing it in the bottom quarter of all California middle schools.
Key areas for improvement include chronic absenteeism, which at 30% is much higher than the state average, and mathematics proficiency. An interesting finding is that while performance is low overall, 8th graders showed the highest English proficiency, suggesting some effective support for students in their final year. For parents, this indicates a school with substantial resources dedicated to a high-needs population, but one that is still working to translate that investment into stronger academic outcomes for all students.
