Summary:
The ISANA Octavia Academy District in Los Angeles contains a single elementary school, ISANA Octavia Academy, which serves grades K-8 with 363 students, most of whom come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
ISANA Octavia Academy shows notable strengths, particularly in mathematics where it outperforms the state average, and in English for its 7th and 8th graders, where proficiency rates are exceptionally high. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating over the past three years. However, performance varies significantly by grade, with a noticeable drop in both English and math scores in the 4th grade, and science proficiency across the school lags behind the state average.
Key areas for families to consider include the school's high per-student spending, which may contribute to its math and upper-grade English success, and a chronic absenteeism rate that is slightly above the state average. The school serves a high-needs population and demonstrates that it can achieve competitive academic results in certain subjects, though there is clear room for growth in science and in supporting students in the early intermediate grades.
