Summary:
The Magnolia Science Academy District consists of a single charter school, Magnolia Science Academy, serving grades 6-12 in Reseda, California.
Magnolia Science Academy presents a notable contrast: it excels in keeping students on track for graduation with a rate of 97.4% and has a perfect 0% dropout rate, but its standardized test scores in English, math, and science are currently below state averages. The school's academic ranking has declined over the past few years, though there is a positive pattern of improvement as students advance; for instance, 11th graders perform much closer to state averages than 6th graders do. Mathematics is the area of greatest academic need across all grade levels.
Key challenges for the school include a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the state average and weaker performance in the middle school grades, particularly upon entry in 6th grade. However, the school operates with substantial per-student funding and has demonstrated a strong capacity to support students through to graduation, which are foundations it can build upon to address its academic performance gaps.
