Summary:
The Gabriella Charter District in Los Angeles contains a single elementary school, Gabriella Charter, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade.
This school serves a high-needs community, with over 88% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and it receives substantial funding at nearly $22,000 per student. However, its statewide academic ranking has declined significantly over the past three years, dropping from the 56th percentile to the 22nd percentile. Current test scores in English, math, and science are below California averages, and chronic absenteeism, at 26%, is notably higher than the state average of 19.4%.
Despite the overall challenges, there are pockets of strength: eighth graders perform nearly at the state average in English, and fifth graders outperform the state in science. The school's performance is consistent with its district's overall low ranking. For parents, the key considerations are the school's declining academic trend and high absenteeism rate, which are areas of concern, balanced against its strong per-student resources and specific grade-level successes that could be built upon.
