Summary

Ingenium Charter Middle is a small public charter school serving 179 students in grades 6-8 in Winnetka, CA, operating within the Ingenium Charter Middle District.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science far below state averages and those of nearby schools like Alfred B. Nobel Charter Middle and Gaspar De Portola Charter Middle. It also struggles with a high rate of chronic student absenteeism, at 30.6%, which is notably higher than most surrounding schools. A striking finding is that despite having relatively high per-student spending and a favorable student-to-teacher ratio, the school's academic outcomes are the lowest among its local peers, suggesting factors beyond funding are at play.

Interestingly, the school shares an address with John A. Sutter Middle, which performs somewhat better, indicating that location and student demographics alone do not determine success. Performance has been volatile year-to-year, and the school serves a student population where nearly all qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The data suggests that while the school has adequate resources, it faces complex challenges in attendance, academic achievement, and consistent instruction that some other schools in the Los Angeles Unified district have managed more effectively.
