SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 10% of California elementary schools

Summary

Academia Moderna is a public elementary school serving 408 students in grades K-5 in Walnut Park, California, operating within its own small Academia Moderna District.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency in English, math, and science consistently below state averages; for example, only about 28% of students are proficient in English and 18% in math. While the school has shown modest improvement in its statewide ranking over the past five years, it still ranks in the bottom quartile of California elementary schools. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, with nearly 3 in 10 students missing too much school, which is higher than at most nearby schools like Willow Elementary and the state average.

Compared to other local schools with similar student populations, Academia Moderna spends less per student and has a higher student-to-teacher ratio. This is notable when looking at schools in the much larger Los Angeles Unified district, such as Florence Avenue Elementary, which achieve higher academic results. However, there are positive signs: chronic absenteeism has dropped sharply from previous years, and English Language Learner scores have improved dramatically, suggesting targeted efforts are making a difference.
