Summary

Caroldale Learning Community is a 620-student K–8 school in Carson, in the Los Angeles Unified district. Its 2025–2026 all-grades proficiency rates were 53% in English Language Arts (ELA), 45% in math and 40% in science. The most important takeaway is that Caroldale scored above both the state and district in all three subjects.

Compared with state and district results, Caroldale’s largest advantage was in math: it was 7 percentage points above the state and 6 above the district; its ELA advantages were 3 and 4 points, and its science advantages were 4 and 8 points. Compared with the 10 nearby schools, the picture differs: Caroldale was 3 points above their average in ELA and 5 above in science, but 2 below in math. Eighth grade was a standout, with ELA at 70% and math at 56%; seventh-grade math was a weaker spot at 30%, versus 38% for both the state and district. Comparisons with nearby schools should be read with care because Caroldale is the only K–8 school in the group, while most peers end in fifth or sixth grade.

Results have improved since 2022–2023: ELA rose 7 points, math 7 points and science 9 points, though science varied considerably along the way, including a 14-point rise in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger ranked Caroldale in the 66th percentile and awarded it 3 stars in 2025–2026; its percentile has risen from 47 in 2014–2015, though it has fluctuated in recent years. The 17.9:1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 was the second-lowest among nearby schools. That year, 78% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with an 81% nearby-school average. SchoolDigger’s rating for African American students was at the 95th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 65th percentile, indicating a notably stronger relative rating for this group. Its Special Education Students rating rose from the 47th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 85th in 2025–2026, a sharp improvement in the group’s relative rating.
