Summary

New Village Girls Academy is a very small, all-girls public high school serving grades 9-12 in Los Angeles, with only about 86 students in its own independent district.

The school faces significant challenges, most notably an extremely high rate of chronic student absenteeism at 84.9%, which is more than four times the state average and a major barrier to consistent learning. This correlates with a high dropout rate of 31.6% and a graduation rate of 68.4%, both considerably lower than state averages. While the school benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 10.6:1 and spends over $40,000 per student—roughly double the amount of nearby schools like Alliance Ted K. Tajima High—these substantial resources have not yet translated into strong or stable academic outcomes, with test scores and statewide rankings fluctuating dramatically from year to year.

In comparison to other local schools serving similar student populations, such as Alliance Ted K. Tajima High and Camino Nuevo High #2, which achieve much higher graduation rates and test scores with lower per-student spending, the profile of New Village Girls Academy most closely resembles that of a continuation school. Its performance suggests that addressing the core issue of student attendance is the critical first step required to leverage its small size and high level of funding into more consistent academic success.
