Summary:
The TEACH Academy of Technologies District in Los Angeles, California, contains a single middle school, TEACH Academy of Technologies, which serves grades 5 through 8 with 471 students.
This school faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency rates in English, math, and science dramatically lower than the California state averages. For example, only about 12% of students are proficient in English Language Arts compared to nearly 49% statewide, and the rates for math and science are below 4%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 3% of all California middle schools for the last three years, indicating persistent difficulties.
Other major concerns include a chronic absenteeism rate of 48%, which is more than double the state average, and nearly all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite spending over $19,000 per student, the combination of high poverty, severe absenteeism, and low test scores suggests the school community is dealing with complex barriers to learning that require comprehensive support and intervention.
