Summary

Magnolia Science Academy 4 is a small public charter high school serving 132 students in grades 6-12 in Los Angeles, which has shown steady academic improvement in recent years despite serving a student population where nearly 90% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school has clear strengths, particularly in English Language Arts, where student proficiency exceeds the state average and outperforms some nearby schools like University High School Charter. It also demonstrates effective support for its students, maintaining a strong graduation rate of over 93%. However, families should note significant challenges in mathematics and science, where proficiency rates are below the state average and lag behind most comprehensive high schools in the area, such as Culver City High. Chronic student absenteeism, while lower than at nearby continuation schools like Phoenix Continuation, is higher than the state average and remains a concern.

Compared to other schools, Magnolia provides a notably smaller, more supportive environment than large comprehensive high schools and achieves better academic outcomes for a similar high-needs population than local continuation schools. Its upward trajectory from a 1-star to a 3-star rating is promising. The school is part of the independent Magnolia Science Academy 4 District, which may allow for tailored programs but operates separately from the larger Los Angeles Unified district that governs many neighboring schools.
