Summary

Global Education Academy is a K-8 elementary school serving 358 students in South Los Angeles, operating within its own Global Education Academy District.

The school has shown strong resilience, rebounding from a dip in its statewide ranking to now sit in the 57th percentile, and it stands out for its effectiveness with its student population, ranking significantly higher for specific subgroups than its overall score suggests. A major strength is its remarkable improvement in student attendance, with chronic absenteeism dropping to 15.2%, which is better than the state average and notably lower than many nearby schools like KIPP Vida Preparatory Academy (35.1%) and Dr. James Edward Jones Primary Center (37.6%). Academically, it outperforms close neighbors such as Accelerated in both English and Math, and it compares favorably to West Vernon Avenue Elementary, the closest school, with better English scores and attendance.

While the school invests more per student than it did several years ago, its academic outcomes relative to spending appear efficient. Areas for continued growth include middle-grade mathematics and science proficiency, which is a common challenge among schools in the area. Overall, Global Education Academy demonstrates a notable capacity to support student success, positioning it as a strong option within the community, especially given its progress in improving attendance and serving its students effectively.
