Better than 10% of California elementary schools

Summary

ISANA Achernar Academy is a K-8 elementary school serving 407 students in Compton, California, which operates as its own district and faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the state's lowest performance tier.

The school's academic performance has declined sharply over the past five years, now ranking well below most nearby schools in the Compton Unified district, such as Anderson Elementary and Jefferson Elementary. While ISANA spends a comparable amount per student and has a better student-teacher ratio than these higher-performing neighbors, it struggles with very low proficiency rates in math and science, especially in the critical early grades of 3rd and 4th.

Despite these challenges, there is a notable bright spot: students in the 7th and 8th grades perform relatively well in English Language Arts, suggesting some effective upper-grade programs. The school's chronic absenteeism rate, while a concern, is lower than several schools in the Lynwood Unified district, like Lindbergh Elementary. This indicates that targeted improvements in foundational instruction, particularly for younger students, could be a key path forward for the ISANA Achernar Academy District.
