Public, Charter Grades K-5

Summary

Global Education Academy is a 243-student elementary school listed as serving grades K–5 in Los Angeles, California, within Los Angeles Unified. Its 2025–26 results vary sharply by subject and grade. The clearest concern is science: proficiency was 14%, compared with 36% statewide and 32% in the district.

The school’s strongest results are in third- and fourth-grade ELA, where proficiency was 56% and 52%—12 and 7 points above state results—and it led nearby schools with data for those grades. In contrast, fifth-grade ELA was 30%, 19 points below the state and 18 below the district. Math was closer to benchmarks: the all-grades result of 38% was about level with the state and 2 points below the district, and 3 points above the 35% average for nearby K–5 schools with results. Attendance is another relative bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 19%, below the district’s 23% and the reported rates at nearby Dr. Theodore T. Alexander Junior Science Center, West Vernon Avenue Elementary, and Menlo Avenue Elementary, though it was slightly above the state’s 18%.

SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 56th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26, tied with Alexander for the highest reported percentile among nearby LAUSD schools. That is down from the 78th percentile and 4 stars in 2017–18. SchoolDigger’s statewide standing for Low Socio Economic Status Students is higher than the school’s overall standing—71st percentile versus 56th—and has fallen from the 90th percentile in 2017–18, a measure of how well the school serves that group relative to similar students statewide. The only supplied student-teacher ratio is 20.2 from 2017–18, and the historical figure for free/reduced lunch eligible students is 97% in that same school year; no current low-income measure is supplied. Global has only one year of test results, so changes in test proficiency over time cannot be assessed.
