Summary

Community Magnet Charter Elementary is a top-performing K-5 public charter school with 425 students, located in the Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles and operating within the Los Angeles Unified school district.

The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in California, with recent scores showing over 83% of students proficient in both English and Math, significantly above district and state averages. What truly sets Community Magnet apart is its ability to deliver these excellent results for all students, including those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, while maintaining a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.4%—far better than the district average of 23.9%. This performance is achieved efficiently, with per-student spending that is lower than some neighboring schools with weaker results.

While other high-performing local schools like Roscomare Road Elementary and Warner Avenue Elementary also excel, Community Magnet serves a more economically diverse population. The school demonstrates that a charter model within a large district like Los Angeles Unified can achieve academic outcomes comparable to schools in much higher-ranked districts such as Beverly Hills Unified. Its balanced strength across all subjects and grades makes it a standout option for families.
