Summary

Barack Obama Charter is a K–5 elementary school in Los Angeles, serving 360 students in an area with several nearby schools for comparison. In 2025–26, chronic absenteeism was 48%, compared with 18% statewide, although it has come down from 58% in 2022–23. The most important concern is that the school had the lowest nearby-school proficiency in ELA, math and science, and its results were also below California’s in all three subjects.

Science is the school’s strongest subject relative to nearby averages, while math is its weakest: 14% of students were proficient in science, compared with a nearby average of 26%; math proficiency was 12%, compared with 41% nearby. ELA proficiency was 21%, versus a nearby average of 43%. The school’s scores were 29 percentage points below the state in ELA, 27 points below in math and 22 points below in science. Even the lowest nearby results were higher: for example, KIPP Compton Community had 24% ELA and 16% math proficiency, while Carver Elementary had 14% in science. The supplied data does not include proficiency results for the Barack Obama Charter District.

ELA and science have improved since 2022–23: ELA rose 12 percentage points to 21%, and science rose 12 points to 14%. Math increased only 2 points to 12%, while its gap with the state widened by 2 points. SchoolDigger places the school in the 6th statewide percentile for 2025–26, with 0 stars; its overall percentile has risen 5 points since 2022–23, but it remains below KIPP’s 7th percentile. Some group rankings are notably higher: SchoolDigger ranked the school in the 36th percentile for African American students and the 30th percentile for Special Education Students, compared with the school’s 6th percentile overall. In 2024–25, its student-teacher ratio was 20.5, around the middle of the nearby range, and 97% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible—the highest rate among nearby schools with the same measure and year.
