Summary:
Magnolia Science Academy District in Reseda, California, contains a single high school, Magnolia Science Academy, which serves students in grades 6 through 12 with a total enrollment of 746.
This school demonstrates a significant strength in supporting students to graduation, achieving a 97.4% graduation rate with a 0.0% dropout rate in the 2023-2024 school year, which far exceeds state averages. However, its standardized test scores in English, math, and science are consistently below the state average, though performance improves in later grades, with 11th graders nearly matching the state in English. The school also faces a challenge with chronic absenteeism, which is higher than the state average.
Despite ranking fluctuations over recent years, the school has maintained a 3-4 star rating. It serves a student population where a high percentage qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and it operates with a per-student spending above many California averages. The combination of strong graduation success alongside lower test scores presents a complex picture, suggesting effective student support systems for retention but potential areas for improvement in aligning curriculum with state assessments and addressing attendance.
