Summary

Fenton Avenue Charter is a public K-5 charter elementary school serving 746 students in Lake View Terrace, operating within the Fenton Avenue Charter District and standing out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 5%, which is dramatically better than both the state average and all nearby schools.

The school demonstrates remarkable stability and particular strengths in supporting specific student groups, such as African American, homeless, and English Language Learner students, who perform well above state averages. While overall test scores in English and Math are close to the state average, the school achieves this with fewer resources per student than some neighbors, like the high-performing Brainard Elementary, which spends significantly more. However, performance in science and for students in special education are noted areas for growth, and math scores tend to decline in the upper grades, a trend seen across several area schools.

Compared to other local schools in the Los Angeles Unified system, such as Stonehurst Avenue Elementary and Morningside Elementary, Fenton Avenue Charter provides consistent, mid-range academic results while excelling at ensuring students come to school regularly, a critical foundation for learning.
