Equitas Academy #2 District

The Equitas Academy #2 District consists of a single public charter middle school, Equitas Academy #2, located in Los Angeles, California. Based on the available data, Equitas Academy #2 does not appear to be a standout school in the district or the state, as its performance metrics, such as test scores and chronic absenteeism rates, are consistently below state averages.

Equitas Academy #2's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state's, with only 31.79% of students proficient in ELA and 22.39% in Mathematics in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 33.6%, which is much higher than the state average. These factors have contributed to the school's declining statewide ranking, from 2,219 out of 2,740 California middle schools in 2021-2022 to 1,805 out of 2,777 in 2023-2024.

The data also suggests that Equitas Academy #2 faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 92.01% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates. To improve the educational experience and outcomes for its students, the school and district leadership should focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance.
