Arts In Action Community Charter District

The Arts In Action Community Charter District consists of a single elementary school, Arts In Action Community Charter, serving grades K-5 with 404 students in Los Angeles.

This school serves a community with high economic need, with over 91% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Academically, student proficiency in English, math, and science is significantly below the California state average, a trend that has been consistent for several years, resulting in a low state ranking. Notably, the school spends more per student than the state average, yet struggles to translate those resources into higher test scores. A relative strength is its chronic absenteeism rate, which is slightly better than the state average, suggesting effective efforts to keep students in school.

As the only school in its district, its performance directly determines the district's low statewide ranking. The school's charter status provides operational flexibility, but it has not led to higher academic outcomes compared to traditional public schools. Parents may want to investigate how the school's specialized "arts in action" curriculum supports core academic learning and where students typically attend after completing 5th grade.
