Summary

ISANA Himalia Academy is a K–8 school in Los Angeles, serving 655 students in a group of nearby schools that includes several elementary schools. In 2025–2026, 34% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 26% in math and 18% in science. Results have risen in all three subjects, but the school remains below state proficiency rates in each—its most important takeaway for families.

ELA is the school’s strongest result compared with nearby schools, while math and science are weaker locally. Among seven nearby schools with current all-grades results, ISANA ranked second in ELA, scoring 4 percentage points above their 30% average. It ranked third-lowest in math, 5 points below the nearby average of 32%, and third-lowest in science, 2 points below the 20% average. Compared with state rates, ISANA was 15 points lower in ELA, 12 points lower in math and 18 points lower in science. The nearby Los Angeles Unified district figures are also above ISANA’s results, but they are not results for ISANA’s own district. ISANA’s fourth-grade math proficiency, 40%, is a relative bright spot; seventh-grade math was 18%.

Scores are moving upward: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, proficiency rose 7 points in ELA, 9 in math and 9 in science, while chronic absenteeism fell from 32% to 20%. That latest absenteeism rate remains slightly above the state’s 18%. SchoolDigger ranks ISANA at the 28th statewide percentile, with 1 star, up 13 percentile points from its 2023–2024 low; its own district is at the 19th percentile. The school’s student–teacher ratio was 22.8 in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby-school average of 19.6. In 2024–2025, 97% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the 96% average among nearby schools reporting that same measure. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Special Education Students rose from 12 to 37, suggesting improved measured performance for this group; the 2025–2026 percentile was 9 points above the school’s overall ranking. Its Hispanic Students percentile also rose, from 20 in 2023–2024 to 38 in 2025–2026. Nearby schools generally serve fewer grades than ISANA, so all-grades comparisons are not perfectly grade-matched.
