Summary:

Magnolia Science Academy 4 is a public charter high school in Los Angeles, California, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 102 students. The school is part of the Magnolia Science Academy 4 District, which is ranked 810 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Magnolia Science Academy 4 has maintained a high four-year graduation rate, with 95.8% in 2022-2023 and 96.3% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 46.5% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the state average. The school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with higher proficiency rates than the state average in 6th grade English Language Arts but lower proficiency rates in 11th grade English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Compared to nearby high-performing public schools like Beverly Hills High, Magnolia Science Academy 4 underperforms in several areas.

Despite these challenges, Magnolia Science Academy 4 appears to be a high-performing charter school, particularly in terms of its graduation rates and support for special education students. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds may contribute to the academic challenges it faces. Overall, the school's performance highlights both its strengths and areas for potential improvement when compared to nearby schools in the Los Angeles Unified District and the Beverly Hills Unified District.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
