Summary

ICEF Innovation Los Angeles Charter is a public charter elementary school serving about 237 students in grades K-5 in the ICEF Innovation Los Angeles Charter District, located in a high-need area of Los Angeles where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the school's overall test scores are below state averages, it shows a clear and positive trend of improvement, with its statewide ranking rising significantly over the past few years. The school demonstrates particular strengths in teaching math to its 4th graders and shows notable effectiveness in educating its African American and Hispanic student populations, with their performance ranking near the middle compared to similar students across California. Compared to nearby Los Angeles Unified schools with similar student demographics, such as Normandie Avenue Elementary and Fifty-Second Street Elementary, ICEF Innovation often performs competitively, especially in mathematics.

The school operates with a higher student-to-teacher ratio than most surrounding schools but has seen a substantial increase in funding per student recently. Its chronic absenteeism rate, while a concern, is lower than several comparable schools like Menlo Avenue Elementary and KIPP Vida Preparatory Academy. When compared to other local charter schools such as Global Education Academy, ICEF Innovation's academic results are lower, highlighting the ongoing challenges it faces in serving its community.
