Summary:
The Alliance Renee and Meyer Luskin Academy High is the sole high school located in the Alliance Renee and Meyer Luskin Academy High District in Los Angeles, California. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. While the school boasts a strong graduation rate and low dropout rate, its academic performance, particularly in core subject areas, is a concern, with proficiency rates below the state averages.
The school's Smarter Balanced Assessments (SBA) proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics for 11th grade are 48.76% and 18.03%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 55.73% and 27.9%. Similarly, the school's proficiency rates in the California Science Test (CAST) for 11th grade are also below the state averages. Additionally, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 28%.
Despite these academic performance challenges, the school has a high four-year graduation rate of 98.1% and a low dropout rate of 1.9%. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, with a ranking of 1,004 out of 2,323 California high schools in 2023-2024 (3 stars) and a lower ranking of 1,395 out of 2,348 in 2022-2023 (2 stars). Continued efforts to address the academic performance challenges and support student engagement and attendance could help the school improve its overall standing and better serve its student population.
