Summary

iQ Academy California-Los Angeles is a large, K-12 online public school based in Simi Valley, serving 1,721 students with a focus on supporting a high-need population, where over three-quarters qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to other virtual schools in the state, iQ Academy stands out for its strong record of helping students graduate and stay in school. Its graduation rate is consistently at or above the state average, and its dropout rate is significantly lower than many similar online schools, such as California Virtual Academy @ Sonoma or Insight @ San Diego. The school also invests more per student than most comparable virtual academies, which appears to support these successful outcomes in student retention and completion.

Academically, the school shows a distinctive strength in preparing its 11th graders, whose proficiency in English, math, and science exceeds state averages. While overall test scores are below state averages, this upper-grade performance is a notable bright spot. The school also performs relatively well in science compared to both the state and its peers. For families considering an online option, iQ Academy presents a compelling choice, particularly for students who may benefit from its supportive environment aimed at ensuring graduation and college readiness.
