Summary

Crown Preparatory Academy is a 446-student middle school serving grades 5–8 in Los Angeles. In 2024–2025, its clearest academic challenge was math: 19% of students were proficient, 18 percentage points below California’s 37%.

The school’s strongest results compared with nearby schools were in science and ELA. Among nearby schools serving grades 5–8, Crown scored 7 points above the average in science (29% versus 23%) and 5 points above it in ELA (45% versus 40%); in math, it was 4 points below the nearby average (19% versus 24%). Against the state, ELA was 4 points lower and science 3 points lower, while math had the largest gap. Fifth graders also stood out: Crown’s results were higher than those at Equitas Academy #2 and Stella Middle Charter Academy in all three subjects. The supplied data has no proficiency results for Crown Preparatory Academy District, so a school-to-district score comparison is unavailable.

Results have improved, especially in ELA and science: from 2022–2023 to 2024–2025, ELA rose 15 points and science rose 10, while math gained 3 points and remained well below the state. SchoolDigger ranked Crown in the 39th statewide percentile with 2 stars in 2024–2025, fifth-highest among 11 nearby schools. Its student–teacher ratio was 15.7, and 94% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these are context measures, not explanations for test results. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Hispanic students was at the 54th percentile, 15 points above the school’s overall ranking; for Special Education Students, it was at the 56th percentile, 17 points higher. Chronic absenteeism also declined, from 37% in 2022–2023 to 22% in 2024–2025, though the latest rate was still 2 points above the state’s.
