SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 2,137 California High Schools

Better than 25% of California high schools

Summary

In San Fernando, Cesar E. Chavez Learning Acads-Technical Prep Academy is a Los Angeles Unified high school serving grades 9–12, with 321 students. Its 2025–2026 graduation rate is 100%, compared with 90% districtwide and 88% statewide, but chronic absenteeism is also high at 30%, versus 23% in the district and 18% across California. The most important takeaway is the contrast between high graduation and weak achievement: just 12% of students are proficient in math and 5% in science.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject relative to the state, district and nearby schools: 40% are proficient, close to the nearby-school average of about 40%, though below the state’s 49% and the district’s 48%. Math proficiency is 12%, compared with about 17% at nearby schools, 38% statewide and 40% districtwide. Science is the clearest weakness: 5% proficiency is well below the nearby-school average of about 20%, the state’s 36% and the district’s 32%. Among nine nearby same-district schools with results, the school is fourth in ELA and math, but second-lowest in science.

Results over time show mixed progress. ELA rose from 27% in 2022–2023 to 40% in 2025–2026, but fell 14 percentage points from the prior year; math edged up from 8% to 12%, while science stayed nearly flat, from 5% to 5%. SchoolDigger places the school at the 25th percentile with 1 star for 2025–2026, down from the 36th percentile the year before. Context includes a 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 14.9, the lowest among comparison schools with reported ratios, and 96% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, among the highest nearby. SchoolDigger’s English Language Learner Students ranking reached the 53rd percentile in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 31st-percentile standing that year, suggesting stronger service to this group by that measure.
