Summary:
The Gabriella Charter District consists of a single school, Gabriella Charter, a K-8 elementary school serving 396 students in Los Angeles, California.
This school serves a community with significant economic need, with over 88% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite spending more per student than the California average, Gabriella Charter has experienced a notable decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, now placing in the lower quarter of all schools. Academic performance is below state averages in English, math, and science, and chronic absenteeism is higher than the state average.
There are some positive signs within the data, particularly in English Language Arts, where student proficiency shows strong improvement from 3rd to 8th grade, with 8th graders performing nearly at the state average. However, performance is inconsistent across subjects and grades, with a particularly sharp drop in science scores by 8th grade and very low math proficiency in 6th grade. For parents, this suggests the school is navigating challenges, with effective practices in upper-grade literacy that may not be translating to other subjects, highlighting areas where the school's above-average resources could be focused for improvement.
