PUC Excel Charter Academy District

Summary:

The PUC Excel Charter Academy District consists of a single middle school, PUC Excel Charter Academy, serving grades 6-8 in Los Angeles, California.

This school serves a student population with significant economic need, with over 91% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite a relatively favorable student-teacher ratio and a high per-student spending level that exceeds the state average, the school faces considerable academic challenges. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all substantially below California state averages, and it has consistently received a low performance rating in recent years.

Key areas for potential improvement include addressing a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the state average, which is closely linked to academic success. The school's year-to-year performance ranking has also shown notable volatility. For parents, this indicates a school that is heavily resourced to support its high-need community but is still working to translate those resources into consistent, strong academic outcomes for all students.
