Learning Works District

The Learning Works District in Pasadena, California, is home to a single public charter high school, Learning Works, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 195 students. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture of Learning Works' performance, suggesting it is a low-performing school that is struggling to provide a quality education for its students.

Learning Works is ranked 2006 out of 2323 California high schools and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, placing it in the bottom 15% of high schools in the state. The school's academic achievement is significantly below state averages, with only 9.52% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state average of 55.73%. Additionally, the school has a high dropout rate of 22.0% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 40.1%, both of which are very high compared to state averages.

The data also reveals that a high percentage (89.74%) of Learning Works students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's high student-teacher ratio of 27.4 to 1 may also contribute to the academic challenges faced by students. Overall, the data suggests that significant interventions and support may be needed to improve Learning Works' outcomes and provide a better educational experience for its students.
