Summary

Ocean Charter is a K-8 public charter school serving 563 students in the West Los Angeles area, operating as part of the highly-rated Ocean Charter District.

Academically, the school consistently outperforms state averages, with particular strength in English Language Arts in the upper grades, though math scores vary more by grade level. It operates very efficiently, achieving these results with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than most neighboring schools like Braddock Drive Elementary or Short Avenue Elementary. A key feature is its K-8 structure, offering continuity through middle school, which it shares with nearby Goethe International Charter.

While the school maintains a strong attendance record, analysis shows performance gaps among different student groups that have widened recently. Its science scores are also an area for growth, as they lag behind its own results in other subjects and those of some local schools. Ocean Charter holds a solid position in a competitive landscape but faces the challenge of improving consistency and equity while maintaining its efficient use of resources.
