Summary:
The ICEF View Park Preparatory Elementary District in Los Angeles contains a single elementary school, ICEF View Park Preparatory Elementary, serving grades K-5 with 411 students, nearly all of whom qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
This school shows a clear trend of recent improvement, having moved from a 1-star to a 2-star rating and climbing from the 19th to the 30th percentile in state rankings over three years. However, significant academic challenges remain, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science all below the California state averages. A particularly sharp decline is seen in mathematics, where proficiency drops from 38% in 3rd grade to just 15% by 5th grade. Chronic absenteeism, at 25.8%, is also higher than the state average, which can impact student learning.
Notably, the school's substantial per-student spending of $24,396 presents a paradox alongside its below-average academic outcomes, suggesting a focus on how resources are allocated. For parents, the data indicates a school serving a high-needs community that is on an upward trajectory but continues to grapple with core challenges in student attendance, math instruction in upper grades, and science proficiency, which is its largest performance gap.
