Summary:
The Equitas Academy Charter District contains one elementary school, Equitas Academy Charter, serving about 427 students in grades K-4 in Los Angeles.
This school serves a community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, yet it achieves a notable strength in mathematics, with overall proficiency exceeding the California state average. However, its performance in English Language Arts lags behind the state, and a significant concern is the chronic absenteeism rate, which is higher than the state average and can impact learning. The school's statewide ranking has shown improvement over the past few years, moving from the 45th percentile into the 55th percentile.
An interesting pattern in the data shows that while third graders perform close to the state average in math, fourth graders see a noticeable drop, which may warrant attention. The school operates with a higher-than-typical per-student spending but also a high student-to-teacher ratio, suggesting resources may be directed toward specialized programs or supports. For parents, the key takeaways are the school's demonstrated success in math instruction amidst economic challenges, its ongoing improvement trend, and the clear opportunities to boost achievement further by improving attendance and literacy outcomes.
