Summary:
The ICEF Innovation Los Angeles Charter District contains one elementary school, ICEF Innovation Los Angeles Charter, serving grades K-5 with 237 students in the South Los Angeles area (90037).
This school serves a community with very high economic need, with over 98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Academically, student performance is below state averages in most subjects, with a particularly large gap in science proficiency. However, the school shows a notable strength in 4th grade mathematics, where students scored above the California state average. Chronic absenteeism is higher here than the state average, which can significantly impact learning. Despite these challenges, the school's statewide ranking has improved over the past three years, moving out of the bottom 10% of all California schools.
With only one school in the district, parents are considering a campus that invests heavily in its students, spending over $25,000 per pupil. The data suggests a school working to overcome significant obstacles, demonstrating that students in high-need areas can achieve at high levels in specific areas, as seen in 4th grade math. The upward trend in rankings indicates ongoing efforts to improve, though addressing chronic absenteeism and the science curriculum remain clear areas for growth to help all students succeed.
