Summary:
The KIPP Iluminar Academy District in Los Angeles contains one elementary school, KIPP Iluminar Academy, serving about 600 students from kindergarten through 4th grade in a high-need community.
KIPP Iluminar Academy has shown remarkable improvement, jumping from a 1-star to a 3-star rating in just two years. A key strength is mathematics, where students outperform the state average. This is particularly impressive as the school serves a population where nearly 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's third graders are especially strong, scoring above state averages in both English and math.
An area for growth is in fourth-grade English scores, which are below the state average, marking a dip from the high third-grade performance. Chronic absenteeism, at 20.2%, is also slightly higher than the state average. With significant spending per student, the school's focused approach as the only school in its district appears to be driving positive academic results, especially in math, and suggests a strong trajectory of improvement for families to consider.
