Summary:
The Montague Charter Academy District consists of a single elementary school, Montague Charter Academy, serving grades K-5 in the Pacoima area.
This school shows a clear strength in mathematics, where student proficiency exceeds the California state average, a notable achievement given the high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. However, performance in English Language Arts is slightly below the state average, and science scores are significantly lower. An interesting pattern emerges across grade levels: while math scores tend to decline from 3rd to 5th grade, English scores improve over the same period. The school has shown promising recent improvement, jumping in its statewide ranking and increasing its star rating.
Key areas for parents to consider include the school's high per-student funding, which is well above the state average, and a chronic absenteeism rate that is also higher than average, presenting a potential opportunity for growth. The data suggests a school that is making progress and performing well in math but faces specific challenges in science and consistent attendance that are being actively addressed.
