Summary

PUC Milagro Charter is a high-performing elementary school serving about 267 students in grades K-5 in the Lincoln Heights area of Los Angeles, part of the PUC Milagro Charter District.

The school achieves exceptional academic results, with over 80% of students proficient in English and Math—far exceeding state averages and outperforming all nearby schools, including the next-best Solano Avenue Elementary. Remarkably, it achieves this excellence while serving a student community where nearly all qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and it does so with significantly less funding per student than neighboring schools like Ann Street Elementary or Albion Street Elementary, which spend more than twice as much.

PUC Milagro has shown consistent improvement and strong pandemic recovery, now ranking in the state's top tier. An interesting point for parents is that the school maintains these top-tier results despite having a higher rate of chronic student absenteeism than the state average, suggesting highly effective support systems are in place to keep students on track academically.
