Summary:
The Ingenium Charter Middle District consists of a single school, Ingenium Charter Middle, serving grades 6-8 with 179 students in the Winnetka area of Los Angeles, California.
Ingenium Charter Middle serves a student population with very high economic need, with over 96% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is significantly below California averages across all core subjects, with particularly low proficiency in science. Furthermore, the school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 30.6%, which is substantially higher than the state average and is a critical factor often linked to academic challenges.
A notable finding is the school's high per-student spending, which exceeds the state average, yet outcomes remain low, suggesting factors beyond funding are affecting performance. The school's statewide ranking has also been volatile, recently falling to the bottom 10% of all California schools. For parents, this indicates the school faces significant systemic hurdles in supporting student achievement, with attendance being a major area of concern that the school must address to improve results.
