Summary:
The Los Angeles Leadership Primary Academy District is a single-school district serving 265 students in grades K-5 in a high-need community, where over 82% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Los Angeles Leadership Primary Academy shows a clear and positive trend of improvement, having moved from a 1-star to a 2-star rating and climbing from the 24th to the 35th percentile among all California schools over the past three years. A notable strength is its mathematics performance, where it nearly meets the state average and even exceeds it in 3rd grade, and the school successfully maintains a chronic absenteeism rate below the state average despite socioeconomic challenges.
Areas for growth include English Language Arts and science, where proficiency lags behind state averages, and a concerning pattern where student performance declines in upper elementary grades. The school invests significantly more per student than the national average, and further analysis of how those resources are allocated could help address performance gaps. For parents, the school demonstrates a committed trajectory of growth with specific strengths in math and student attendance.
