Middle Schools in Equitas Academy #2 District

Equitas Academy #2 is the only middle school in the Equitas Academy #2 District in Los Angeles, serving grades 5 through 8 with 437 students, and it serves a community with very high economic need.

The school, Equitas Academy #2, shows a positive trend, consistently improving its statewide ranking over the last three years. While its test scores in English, math, and science are below California averages, it performs notably well in managing chronic absenteeism, with a rate better than the state average despite the socioeconomic challenges its students face. The school's 8th graders are a particular strength, scoring above the state average in English Language Arts.

Areas for growth include mathematics and science proficiency, where gaps with the state are widest, and a noticeable dip in performance in 6th grade that may point to transition challenges. With per-student spending above $20,000, the school has resources to address these areas while building on its successful attendance strategies and the effective instructional practices that appear to benefit its oldest students.
