Summary:
In the 90018 zip code of Los Angeles, there is one public middle school, Crown Preparatory Academy, a charter school serving grades 5-8 within its own Crown Preparatory Academy District.
This school shows a clear pattern of academic strengths in the early grades, with its 5th graders performing notably above state averages in English Language Arts and Science. However, mathematics is a consistent challenge across all grade levels, with proficiency rates below the state average. The school has demonstrated a positive upward trend in its statewide ranking over the past three years, moving from the 28th to the 39th percentile, indicating effective improvement efforts.
Key considerations for families include the school's high economic need population, with over 94% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and a chronic absenteeism rate slightly above the state average. With a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than many California schools, the school has significant resources, yet outcomes are mixed, suggesting a focus on optimizing support in mathematics and attendance to build on its early-grade successes.
