Summary:
Village Charter Academy is the sole school in the Village Charter Academy District, serving grades K-5 in Canoga Park, California. With a total enrollment of 294 students, the school has a predominantly Hispanic student population and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges faced by the community.
Academically, Village Charter Academy has mixed performance compared to state averages. While the school's 5th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate of 66.67% is notably higher than the statewide average of 46.69%, its math and science proficiency rates are generally lower than the state benchmarks. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.1% is also higher than the state average, which could be an area of concern.
Despite these challenges, Village Charter Academy has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past few years, suggesting that the school is providing a stable educational experience for its students. However, there may be opportunities to explore ways to attract a more diverse student population, address the economic disadvantages faced by the community, and implement targeted interventions to improve academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science.
