Summary:
The ISANA Himalia Academy District consists of a single elementary school, ISANA Himalia Academy, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 630 students. The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic, making up 98.89% of the student body, with very low percentages of white and African American students.
Academically, ISANA Himalia Academy is struggling, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science compared to statewide averages in California. For example, only 15.71% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in ELA/Literacy, compared to the state average of 42.96%. The school's performance across all grade levels and subject areas is consistently below the state benchmarks. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.3%, which likely contributes to the academic challenges.
The demographic factors of ISANA Himalia Academy, including a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (88.1% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch) and a lack of racial diversity, may be contributing to the school's academic struggles. The school's consistently low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rate suggest that the district and school leadership need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for the students.
