Summary

YES Academy is a K–5 elementary school in Los Angeles, serving 462 students in Los Angeles Unified. Its latest reported results show a major concern: proficiency was below state and district rates in English Language Arts, math, and science, with the largest gap in English Language Arts.

Math is the school’s strongest subject relative to the state and district, while English Language Arts (ELA) is its weakest. In 2025–2026, 22% of YES students were proficient in math, compared with 38% statewide and 40% in the district; ELA proficiency was 18%, versus 49% statewide and 48% in the district. Science proficiency was 14%, compared with 36% statewide and 32% in the district. YES also trailed nearby schools: among three nearby K–5 schools with results, its ELA rate was 16 points below their average, math was 11 points below, and science was 11 points below. Its ELA proficiency rose from 11% in grade 3 to 25% in grade 5, but remained below nearby same-grade results in both grades.

Results over time are mixed: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, math proficiency increased by 8 points and science by 5, while ELA rose by just 2 points and fell by 5 points in the latest year. Chronic absenteeism also declined, from 64% in 2021–2022 to 41% in 2025–2026, but remained 23 points above the state rate. YES Academy ranked at the 9th statewide percentile with 0 stars in SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 rankings; its percentile was 5 in 2023–2024. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings show stronger relative standing for African American Students, at the 42nd percentile, and Special Education Students, at the 34th percentile, compared with 9 overall. In 2024–2025, 97% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the highest share among nearby schools reporting that measure; the student-teacher ratio was 21, compared with a nearby-school median of 19.3.
