Summary

Foshay Learning Center is a large, K-12 public school in the Los Angeles Unified district, serving over 1,500 students in a high-need community where most qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school's defining achievement is its perfect 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate over the last five years, a record matched only by Thirty-Second Street USC Performing Arts among nearby schools and far surpassing virtual academies like Leadership & Public Service Virtual Academy. This success in keeping students engaged is also seen in its lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to district and virtual school averages. However, academic proficiency is mixed: while 11th graders excel in English and science, overall math proficiency is a concern, consistently below district and state averages.

This creates a notable contrast where Foshay excels at helping students graduate but faces challenges ensuring all master grade-level math. Compared to a high-performing charter like Larchmont Charter, Foshay's test scores are lower, but its graduation rate is higher. The data suggests Foshay's in-person, K-12 community fosters strong support and retention, though improving foundational math and science skills remains a key focus for the school's journey.
