ISANA Nascent Academy

Public, Charter Grades K-8

Summary

ISANA Nascent Academy is a K–8 school in Los Angeles with 488 students, the largest enrollment among the 11 schools in its nearby comparison group. Its most important academic challenge is mathematics: 17% of students were proficient in 2024–2025, 20 percentage points below California and 18 points below the nearby-school average.

Science is the school’s relative strength among the three subjects, but it is only slightly ahead of nearby schools: proficiency was 18.9% at ISANA and 18.8% across nearby schools, while California’s rate was 33%. In ELA, ISANA’s 34% proficiency rate was 3 points below the nearby average and 15 below the state. Nearby schools in Los Angeles Unified report district benchmarks of 46% in ELA, 37% in math and 27% in science; ISANA was below those figures by 13, 20 and 8 points, respectively. Those are nearby LAUSD benchmarks, not a reported benchmark for ISANA’s own district.

Scores have improved since 2022–2023, especially in science: ISANA gained 5 percentage points in science, 2 in math and 1 in ELA through 2024–2025, although all three subjects dipped in 2023–2024 before rebounding. Chronic absenteeism also declined, from 40% in 2022–2023 to 29% in 2024–2025, but remained 10 points above the state rate. ISANA Nascent Academy ranked in the 19th percentile and received one star from SchoolDigger in 2024–2025. Its student–teacher ratio was 20.2, above the nearby-school average of 19.3; 95% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Hispanic Students was 40 in 2024–2025, 21 points above the school’s overall percentile. For English Language Learner Students, the latest available percentile was 32 in 2023–2024, down 17 points from 49 the year before.
