Summary:
The Ingenium Charter District consists of a single elementary school, Ingenium Charter, serving grades K-5 for 296 students in Canoga Park within Los Angeles County.
Ingenium Charter has shown remarkable recent improvement, jumping from the 6th to the 35th percentile in statewide rankings in just one year and earning a 2-star rating. This progress is noteworthy given that the school serves a student population with high economic need. However, academic proficiency remains below state averages in English and Math, and a critical concern is the very low science proficiency rate of 5.88%. Performance varies significantly by grade, with 4th graders performing above state averages while 5th graders, who take the science test, face substantial challenges.
The school invests heavily in its students, with per-student spending well above the state average, but it also contends with a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the state average, which can impact learning. For parents, this school represents a setting with demonstrated capacity for rapid improvement and significant resources, but one that is still working to bring student achievement up to state standards, particularly in upper-grade science.
