Summary

Accelerated Charter Elementary is a K-6 public charter school serving 526 students in South Los Angeles, operating as part of the Accelerated Charter Elementary District and earning a consistent 3-star rating that places it around the middle of all California schools.

The school stands out for its effective support of key student groups, with English Language Learners and students from low-income families scoring significantly higher than the state average for those subgroups, and it maintains a chronic absenteeism rate of 11.7% that is much lower than both the state average and nearby schools like Dolores Huerta Elementary (23.3%) or Gabriella Charter 2 (35.1%). While its overall test scores are near the state median, it achieves this while serving a 100% economically disadvantaged population and outperforms a similarly named neighbor, Accelerated, which has a 1-star rating.

Notable strengths include very high math proficiency in 3rd grade, though scores dip in upper grades, and efficient use of resources, achieving solid results with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-pupil spending than some lower-performing area schools. Compared to other local options, including those in Los Angeles Unified, Synergy Charter Academy and Accelerated Charter Elementary are among the top performers in the immediate area.
