Summary:
The Magnolia Science Academy 5 District consists of a single charter school, Magnolia Science Academy 5, serving grades 6-12 in Reseda, California, with a total enrollment of 218 students, most of whom are from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Magnolia Science Academy 5 stands out for its strong academic outcomes, particularly in mathematics and English, where it outperforms state averages, and for its exceptional 94.7% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate. The school's middle school math scores are notably high, with 6th graders scoring over 24 points above the state average. However, the school faces challenges with a chronic absenteeism rate significantly higher than the state average and a science proficiency rate that currently lags behind.
While the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, it continues to deliver above-average results in core subjects. The data shows a significant dip in math proficiency by 11th grade, contrasting with the strong middle school performance, and indicates that the school's science instruction shows strength in the 12th grade. Overall, the school demonstrates a successful model for supporting student achievement and completion despite economic challenges.
