Summary:
The Pacoima Charter Elementary District consists of a single, large elementary school, Pacoima Charter Elementary, serving grades K-6 with 831 students.
As the only school in its district, Pacoima Charter Elementary shows a consistent academic profile, performing in the middle range compared to all California schools. Its English Language Arts scores improve steadily from 3rd to 6th grade, with 6th graders scoring slightly above the state average, which is a notable strength. However, math and science proficiency rates are below state averages, with science showing the largest gap. A significant challenge is the chronic absenteeism rate of 23.1%, which is higher than the state average and can impact student learning.
The school operates with a higher-than-average student-teacher ratio despite a per-student spending level that is above many California schools. It serves a community with high economic need, and its ability to keep academic performance relatively close to state averages under these circumstances is noteworthy. The school has maintained a stable ranking over recent years, indicating consistent practices but also highlighting an area for potential growth and improvement, particularly in mathematics instruction and attendance.
