Summary:
The Arts In Action Community Charter District contains one elementary school, Arts In Action Community Charter, serving grades K-5 with 404 students in Los Angeles, CA.
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, with science scores showing the largest gap. A notable pattern is that student performance tends to decline in higher grades, especially in mathematics. Despite these academic challenges, the school maintains a chronic absenteeism rate that is slightly better than the state average, which is a relative strength given the socioeconomic context.
The school has consistently received a 1-star rating and ranks in the bottom 20% of elementary schools statewide. The Arts In Action Community Charter District itself is also ranked in the lowest 10% of districts. While the school's per-student spending is substantial, the persistent low rankings suggest systemic educational challenges. Parents may want to investigate the specific academic supports and instructional strategies in place, particularly for science education and for supporting student learning as they advance through the grade levels.
