Summary

Crete Academy is a public elementary school serving 284 students in grades K-6 in Los Angeles, operating within the Crete Academy District, which is among the lowest-ranked districts in the state.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science dramatically below state averages and consistently ranking in the bottom percentile of California schools. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, which at 30.5% is well above the state average, though it is lower than at some nearby schools like YES Academy. Despite a recent increase in per-student spending to over $21,000, these resources have not yet translated into improved test scores, especially when compared to nearby schools like Fifty-Fourth Street Elementary, which achieves much higher proficiency with greater funding.

When compared to other local options, Crete Academy's performance is notably lower. Schools in the Los Angeles Unified district, such as Fifty-Ninth Street Elementary, generally have stronger academic results and higher spending. Interestingly, even Today's Fresh Start-Compton, a charter school spending far less per student, reports significantly better academic outcomes, raising questions about different educational models and resource effectiveness.
