Summary:
The TEACH Technical Charter High District consists of a single charter high school, TEACH Technical Charter High, serving grades 9-12 in Los Angeles with 363 students.
This school serves a student population with high economic need, with over 91% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. A significant challenge is student attendance, as the chronic absenteeism rate of 43.6% is more than double the state average, which severely impacts learning. Despite this and spending over $22,000 per student, academic outcomes are mixed: the graduation rate of 89.7% is above the state average, but proficiency in math (8%) and science (7%) is dramatically below state averages, while English Language Arts performance is closer to the state norm.
The trend over the past three years shows the school's statewide ranking has declined. The disconnect between high per-student spending and low proficiency in core subjects suggests a need to examine how resources are used to support instruction. For parents, the key considerations are the school's above-average graduation success, its substantial investment per student, and the critical need to address attendance and the significant gaps in math and science achievement.
