Summary:
The ICEF Inglewood Elementary Charter Academy District in Inglewood, California, is a single-school district serving 375 students in grades K-5 at the ICEF Inglewood Elementary Charter Academy, which has maintained a consistent 3-star rating.
This school shows notable strengths, particularly in early grades, with its 3rd graders outperforming state averages in both English and Math, and the school as a whole scoring above the state in these core subjects. However, performance declines sharply in upper grades, with 5th-grade math proficiency dropping to 25%, and science scores are significantly below the state average. The school serves a student population where over 96% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and it operates with a high per-student spending level of over $23,000.
Key challenges for the school include a chronic absenteeism rate well above the state average and the steep decline in student performance between 3rd and 5th grade, especially in mathematics and science. While the school's investment and focus on early foundational skills are yielding positive results for younger students, these areas represent important opportunities for improvement to ensure success through elementary school.
