Summary:
This analysis covers the single elementary school within the Equitas Academy #3 Charter District in Los Angeles, California, which serves 435 students in grades K-4.
Equitas Academy #3 Charter serves a high-needs community, with over 91% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and invests significantly in its students, spending $23,777 per pupil. Academically, the school presents a mixed picture: its overall English and math proficiency rates are slightly below the state average, but a closer look reveals a notable performance jump between grades. While 3rd graders, especially in math, score well below state averages, 4th graders perform at or slightly above them, suggesting strong academic growth during that year.
Key challenges for the school include a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the state average and relatively large class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 27-to-1. The school's statewide ranking has seen a slight decline in recent years. For parents, this school represents a substantial investment in student resources and shows particular strength in preparing 4th-grade students, but faces ongoing challenges with student attendance that can impact learning.
