Summary

Equitas Academy 4 is a middle school in Los Angeles serving 456 students in grades 5–8. The most important takeaway is that its 2024–2025 proficiency was below California’s in all three subjects: science was its relative bright spot, while math was its clearest weakness.

Compared with the nearby-school averages, the school was close in ELA (37% versus 38%), below average in math (22% versus 25%), and above average in science (27% versus 24%). Science ranked third among 11 nearby schools, compared with sixth for ELA and seventh for math. Statewide, its scores were 12 points below California in ELA, 16 points below in math, and 6 points below in science. In a similar grade-span comparison, Equitas Academy #2 scored higher in ELA and math, but lower in science. The supplied data do not include test results for Equitas Academy 4 District, so a district comparison is not possible.

Over the three years from 2022–2023 to 2024–2025, science proficiency rose 4 points and its gap with the state narrowed from 7 to 6 points; ELA fell 1 point and math was essentially flat, while both subjects fell further behind the state. Equitas Academy 4 received a SchoolDigger rank at the 35th percentile and 2 stars in 2024–2025, placing seventh among 11 nearby schools with rank data. Its student-teacher ratio of 24.2 was the highest among nearby schools, whose ratios topped out at 23.8. In 2024–2025, 93% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; the nearby-school average for the same measure also rounds to 93%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking suggests stronger results for English Language Learner students in 2023–2024: the group ranked at the 64th percentile, 15 points above the school’s overall ranking. For Hispanic students, the ranking fell 18 points, from the 65th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 47th in 2024–2025, still 12 points above the school’s overall percentile that year.
