Summary

Germain Academy For Academic Achievement is a 564-student elementary school serving kindergarten through fifth grade in Chatsworth, within Los Angeles Unified. Its 2025–26 results show a mixed picture: math proficiency was above district and state levels, while English language arts (ELA) and science were below both. Results also varied sharply by grade: third grade was a bright spot, but fifth-grade ELA and math were well below state levels and among the weakest of nearby K–5 schools. The most important concern is that the strong third-grade showing does not carry through to fifth grade.

Compared with nearby K–5 schools, Germain’s all-grade results were low across all three subjects: its ELA proficiency was 46%, versus a nearby-school average of 60%; math was 44%, versus 57%; and science was 31%, versus 48%. Math is its strongest subject against broader benchmarks: it was 6 percentage points above the state and 5 above the district. In contrast, ELA was 3 points below the state and 2 below the district, while science was 5 below the state and 1 below the district. The grade-level contrast is especially pronounced in math and ELA: third-grade proficiency was 62% in math and 56% in ELA, but fifth-grade results fell to 27% and 37%, respectively.

Scores have improved since 2022–23: ELA rose 3 percentage points, math 4, and science 8. However, science declined from 33% in 2024–25 to 31% in 2025–26, while the state result rose; Germain went from 1 point above the state to 5 below. SchoolDigger ranks Germain at the 57th percentile statewide, with 3 stars, and places it third-lowest among nearby K–5 schools with rankings. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 20.8, compared with a nearby-school average of 22.2; 69% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the third-highest share in that local group. SchoolDigger’s rankings also show notable group differences: White Students ranked at the 17th percentile in 2024–25, versus the school’s overall 58th percentile, while its English Language Learner Students ranking rose from the 14th percentile in 2022–23 to the 61st in 2023–24. These subgroup rankings do not include group sizes, so they should be read as relative rankings, not precise estimates of student outcomes.
