Summary

California Creative Learning Academy (CCLA) is a K-5 elementary school serving 330 students in its own independent district in Los Angeles, currently holding a 2-star rating that places its academic performance in the lower-middle tier of schools statewide.

Academically, CCLA's proficiency rates in English, Math, and Science are below California averages, and it faces notable challenges with a student-teacher ratio of 25.5 to 1, which is the highest among nearby schools. When compared to other local schools, CCLA's performance lags significantly; for instance, Ivanhoe Elementary (97th percentile), Elysian Heights Elementary School Arts Magnet (81st), and Allesandro Elementary (77th) all achieve much stronger results. Interestingly, CCLA spends $19,210 per student, which is more than some higher-performing schools like Ivanhoe, suggesting resources may not be the primary factor in the performance gap.

Key areas for improvement include addressing a large performance gap between female and male students and inconsistent results across different grade levels. The school's chronic absenteeism rate, though improved, remains above the state average. A nearby school, ISANA Octavia Academy, demonstrates that better outcomes are possible with a similar student population, indicating CCLA has room for growth. Prioritizing a lower student-teacher ratio and learning from the successful strategies of neighboring schools could be crucial steps for CCLA's improvement.
