Summary:
KIPP Iluminar Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-4 in the KIPP Iluminar Academy District located in Los Angeles, California. The school has faced academic and socioeconomic challenges, with declining performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population with significant economic disadvantages.
KIPP Iluminar Academy's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, has declined over the past two school years, with proficiency rates falling below the state averages. The school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have also fluctuated, indicating inconsistent performance. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.2%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as KIPP Iluminar Academy District has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 83.04% in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests the school and district face challenges in addressing the needs of their economically disadvantaged student population, which may be contributing to the declining academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates.
