Summary:
The TEACH Academy of Technologies District in Los Angeles, California, consists of a single middle school, TEACH Academy of Technologies, serving 471 students in grades 5 through 8.
This school faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 3% of all California schools for the last three years. Proficiency rates are very low across English, math, and science, with math scores being particularly concerning; only about 2% of 8th graders met standards. A major factor is chronic absenteeism, affecting nearly half the student body, which is more than double the state average and creates a substantial barrier to learning. The school serves a student population where almost every child qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need.
Despite spending over $19,000 per student, which is above the state average, the school's academic results have not improved. The high student-to-teacher ratio may limit individual attention. For parents, this data highlights a school in need of transformative support, where addressing daily attendance is as critical as improving classroom instruction to help students succeed.
