Summary:
N.E.W. Academy of Science and Arts is the sole elementary public charter school in the N.E.W. Academy of Science and Arts District located in Los Angeles, California. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the state averages in California on key academic assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 25.4% to 47.62% compared to the state averages of 35.02% to 47.37%. Additionally, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 15.4% compared to the state average.
The school serves a student population with significant economic challenges, with 99.26% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high rate of economic disadvantage may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism. The student-teacher ratio at the school is 25.5, slightly higher than the state average, which could also be a factor in the school's underperformance.
Overall, the data suggests that N.E.W. Academy of Science and Arts may require additional resources, support, and targeted interventions to address the unique needs of its student population and improve overall educational outcomes. The school's consistently lower performance compared to state averages is a significant concern that warrants further investigation and action to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
