Summary:
This analysis covers the single elementary school within the Citizens of the World Charter School Silver Lake District in Los Angeles, California: Citizens of the World Charter School Silver Lake, a K-8 charter serving 718 students.
Citizens of the World Charter School Silver Lake shows notable strengths in early elementary grades, with 4th grade English Language Arts and 3rd grade Math proficiency rates significantly exceeding California state averages. However, the school's overall performance is mixed, with ELA proficiency slightly below the state average and Math and Science proficiency approximately equal to it. A key finding is a substantial decline in academic performance in middle school grades compared to the stronger elementary results, which is an important area for the school to address.
The school maintains a consistent statewide ranking in the 58th to 64th percentile range. It serves a student population where over 70% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, yet it achieves results near state averages, supported by a per-student spending above $20,000. A concern is the chronic absenteeism rate, which is higher than the state average. For parents, this school demonstrates solid early academic foundations but faces the challenge of sustaining that success through the middle school years.
