Summary:
Puente Charter is the sole elementary public charter school in the Puente Charter District in Los Angeles, California, serving grades K-5 with 297 students. The school's performance on standardized tests is generally above the state average, particularly in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, though its statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years.
Puente Charter is a standout school in its district, with a district rank of 436 out of 1,568 districts in California and a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a high rate of chronic absenteeism at 34.1%, which is an area for improvement. Additionally, Puente Charter serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 81.14% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Overall, Puente Charter appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within its district, providing a solid academic foundation for its students. However, the school's variable statewide ranking and high chronic absenteeism rate suggest there may be opportunities for further improvement and support for the school and its students.
