Summary:
The Barack Obama Charter District in Los Angeles, California, contains a single elementary school, Barack Obama Charter, which serves 360 students from kindergarten through 5th grade.
This school faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state for the last three years, though it has shown a slight improvement in its percentile rank. Student proficiency rates in English, math, and science are all substantially below California averages. A major contributing factor is the extremely high rate of chronic absenteeism, with nearly half of the students missing a significant amount of school, which creates a substantial barrier to learning.
Despite these challenges, the school operates with a per-student spending level that is considerable. It serves a student population where almost all qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The district itself is ranked in the bottom tier statewide, indicating these are systemic issues. For parents, this summary highlights a school and district in need of comprehensive support to address attendance and improve academic outcomes for its students.
