Summary:

The KIPP Iluminar Academy District consists of a single elementary school, KIPP Iluminar Academy, serving grades K-4 with 593 students in Los Angeles, California.

KIPP Iluminar Academy is a standout for its rapid improvement, having climbed from the 28th to the 57th percentile in statewide rankings in just two years. The school shows particular strength in mathematics, where student proficiency significantly outpaces the state average. It serves a high-needs population, with nearly 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, yet it delivers strong academic outcomes in key areas.

The school's chronic absenteeism rate is slightly higher than the state average, and addressing this could support further gains. Overall, the school demonstrates effective strategies for supporting its student community and shows a very positive trajectory of improvement.
