Summary

Broadacres Avenue Elementary Visual & Performing Arts Magnet is a K–5 school in Carson, serving 275 students in Los Angeles Unified. Its 2025–26 results are uneven: math is slightly above state and district averages, while ELA is below them and science is especially low. The most important concern is science: just 6% of students were proficient, compared with 32% districtwide and 36% statewide.

Among six nearby K–5 schools, Broadacres had the lowest ELA result, at 35% compared with their 48% average, and the lowest science result, versus their 36% average. Math is a relative strength: 41% were proficient, above the district’s 40% and the state’s 38%, though below the nearby-school average of 45%; Broadacres ranked second-lowest among those six schools. Results also vary by grade: fourth graders reached 54% in both ELA and math, while fifth-grade proficiency was 23% in ELA, 27% in math and 6% in science.

Math has improved over time, rising from 30% in 2022–23 to 41% in 2025–26, an 11-point gain; ELA rose from 26% to 35% over that span but fell 4 points from the prior year. Science moved in the opposite direction, dropping from 10% in 2022–23 to 6% in 2025–26. SchoolDigger ranks Broadacres at the 40th percentile and gives it 2 stars, up from the 10th percentile in 2021–22 but still behind most nearby schools. Its student–teacher ratio was 18.3:1 in 2024–25, the lowest among nearby schools. In that same year, 86% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; California provides free meals to all students statewide, so this figure should be read in that context. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves African American students was notably higher than its overall ranking: the group ranked at the 70th percentile with 4 stars, compared with 40th percentile and 2 stars overall.
