Summary

TEACH Academy of Technologies is a public charter middle school serving 471 students in grades 5-8 in South Los Angeles, operating within its own TEACH Academy of Technologies District and serving a community with significant economic needs.

Academic performance at TEACH Academy is critically low, ranking in the bottom 2-3% of all California middle schools, with only 12% of students proficient in English and 4% proficient in math, far below state averages. The school faces a severe challenge with chronic absenteeism, as nearly half of all students miss too much school, which is more than double the state average and the highest rate among nearby schools. Furthermore, classrooms are quite crowded, with a student-teacher ratio of nearly 29-to-1, which is higher than other local middle schools like Environmental Charter Middle - Inglewood (20-to-1) or those in Los Angeles Unified.

Despite these struggles, the school's situation is not inevitable for the area, as other local schools with similar student populations achieve much stronger results. For example, Environmental Charter Middle - Inglewood shows significantly higher proficiency rates and lower absenteeism. This comparison suggests that improving daily attendance could be a key starting point for TEACH Academy to begin addressing its academic challenges and reversing its multi-year decline in statewide rankings.
