Our Community Charter District

The Our Community Charter District is home to a single elementary school, Our Community Charter, which serves grades K-8. Located in Chatsworth, a community within the larger Los Angeles metropolitan area, the school has established itself as a standout institution, ranking in the top 25% of California elementary schools.

Our Community Charter's academic performance is particularly impressive, with students consistently outperforming state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2023-2024 school year, 63.14% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to the state average of 47.04%. Similarly, the school's math proficiency rate of 48.18% exceeded the state average of 35.54%. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rates, as measured by the CAST exam, were 42.05%, well above the statewide average of 30.7%.

Despite serving a relatively low-income student population, with 23.7% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Our Community Charter has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years. The school's strong performance is particularly noteworthy given its slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 19.7, compared to the state average. While the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.5% is higher than the state average, it remains relatively low, suggesting that the school is effectively engaging its students and addressing attendance-related challenges.
