Summary:
The Inglewood Unified district consists of 15 schools serving grades K-12, where all schools face significant economic challenges, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Performance varies widely across the district. City Honors International Preparatory High is the clear standout, achieving state-average proficiency in English and a high graduation rate, while La Tijera Academy of Excellence Charter leads among elementary schools. In contrast, Woodworth-Monroe Academy and Inglewood Continuation High face severe academic and attendance challenges, ranking in the bottom percentiles statewide.
Key challenges for the district include very low math and science proficiency compared to the state, high chronic absenteeism that is nearly double the state average, and dramatic swings in performance between grade levels within the same school, such as at Frank D. Parent. The data shows that strong outcomes are possible within this community, as evidenced by the top performers, but consistent achievement across all schools remains a significant hurdle.
