Summary:

The Learning by Design Charter District in Los Angeles, California, consists of a single elementary school, Learning by Design Charter, which serves 114 students from kindergarten through 5th grade.

This school has experienced significant changes in its academic performance in recent years. Its statewide ranking dropped sharply from the 62nd percentile (considered average) in the 2023-2024 school year to the 17th percentile in 2024-2025. Academic results vary widely by grade; for instance, 3rd grade math scores recently met the state average, while 5th grade math and overall science proficiency were far below state averages. The school also faces a challenge with chronic student absenteeism, which at 31.1% is notably higher than the state average of 19.4%.

Despite a per-student spending of $22,449, which is above typical state levels, and serving a student population where 78% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's recent academic outcomes have declined. Parents may want to inquire about the school's strategies for improving attendance, supporting upper-grade math and science instruction, and understanding the reasons behind the recent drop in its statewide ranking.
