Summary

UCLA Community K-12 is a public K-12 school in the Los Angeles Unified school district, serving 887 students in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school has a significant strength in supporting students to graduation, with a 94% graduation rate and a very low dropout rate of 2.6%, which is much higher than some nearby alternative schools like the Computer Science Virtual Academy and Leadership & Public Service Virtual Academy. However, proficiency on state tests in subjects like math and science is below district and state averages, creating a gap between graduation success and academic achievement. The school spends more per student than several other schools in the district and has made progress in reducing chronic absenteeism, though the rate remains higher than the state average.

When compared to some nearby charter schools in different districts, such as Renaissance Arts Academy and Larchmont Charter, there are large differences in test scores, though these schools also serve student populations with different economic needs. Within its own district, UCLA Community K-12's in-person model shows stronger results in keeping students enrolled and graduating than the virtual academies, highlighting its effective support systems even as it works to improve core academic instruction.
