Summary:
The city of Walnut Park, California is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school and 3 middle schools, spread across two different school districts - Academia Moderna District and Los Angeles Unified. The data reveals a mix of performance, with one school, Walnut Park Mid A School of Soc Just and Service Learning, standing out as a relative success and the others facing significant challenges.
Walnut Park Mid A School of Soc Just and Service Learning has the highest statewide school digger ranking among the 4 schools, ranking 1335 out of 2777 California middle schools in 2023-2024. It also has the highest test scores across various subjects and grade levels compared to the other schools. In contrast, PREPA TEC - Los Angeles has the lowest statewide school digger ranking, ranking 2439 out of 2777 California middle schools in 2023-2024, and the lowest test scores across various subjects and grade levels.
The data also reveals significant challenges faced by the schools in Walnut Park, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 29.0% to 45.8%, and very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 92.72% to 98.28%. These factors likely contribute to the lower academic performance observed across the schools, particularly in mathematics and science, where the schools significantly underperform the district and state averages. However, the presence of a higher-performing school indicates that there is potential for improvement in the other schools through targeted interventions and support.
