Summary

Cesar E. Chavez Learning Acads-Arts/Theatre/Entertain Mag is a 300-student Los Angeles Unified high school serving grades 9–12 in San Fernando, California. Its clearest strength is English language arts: in 2025–26, 78% of students were proficient, far ahead of the district and state and higher than every nearby school with a same-year result.

The school led its eight nearby Los Angeles Unified peers in both English and math, and ranked second in science. English proficiency was 78%, compared with 48% in the district and 49% statewide; math was 37%, just below the district’s 40% and the state’s 38%, but above every peer. Science was 34%, above the district’s 32% but below the state’s 36%; only Sylmar Biotech Health and Engineering Magnet scored higher, at 35%. The school also reported a 99% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, while chronic absenteeism was 22%—below the district’s 23% but above the state’s 18%.

Results improved substantially over time: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, proficiency rose 16 percentage points in English, 12 in math, and 14 in science. Math and science narrowed their gaps with the state, while the school’s English lead widened. SchoolDigger ranked the school 569th of 2,137 California schools in 2025–26, at the 73rd percentile with four stars, up from the 54th percentile and three stars the prior year. Its subgroup rankings also show strong relative standing for Special Education Students (91st percentile) and Hispanic Students (88th), compared with 73rd overall; SchoolDigger describes these as measures of the school’s effectiveness for those groups. In 2024–25, the student-teacher ratio was 15.2, below the nearby-school average of 18.5. That year, 86% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, below the nearby-school average of 92%; these are contextual figures, not explanations for the results. With 300 students, year-to-year results may be more sensitive to changes in who is tested.
