Better than 38% of California elementary schools

Summary

Broadacres Avenue Elementary Visual & Performing Arts Magnet is a K-5 school serving 275 students in Carson, part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, and has shown remarkable improvement in recent years, climbing from a very low state ranking to a more moderate one.

This school stands out for its impressive progress, showing the fastest academic improvement among nearby schools like Leapwood Avenue Elementary. A major success story is attendance; the school has dramatically reduced chronic absenteeism from over 50% to just 16.2%, now beating both district and state averages. It also demonstrates particular strength in supporting one student subgroup, ranking in the state's top 20% for that group's performance. The school invests significant resources per student, more than many area schools, and maintains a smaller average class size than peers such as Towne Avenue Elementary and Dominguez Elementary.

While test scores in English and math are improving, science remains a key challenge, with proficiency notably lower than at a similar school like Bonita Street Elementary. There is also a significant drop in math scores by 5th grade that needs attention. The school's visual and performing arts focus may be helping drive engagement and recovery from the pandemic faster than some traditional schools. For families, Broadacres represents a school with strong positive momentum, a dedicated arts program, and a clear commitment to getting students to school and helping them succeed.
