Global Education Academy

Summary:

Global Education Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 364 students in grades K-8 in Los Angeles, CA. The school is part of the Global Education Academy District, which is ranked 864 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Global Education Academy's performance on standardized tests is generally below the state average across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy ranged from 27.78% (3rd grade) to 50% (8th grade), compared to the state average of 42.8% to 47.95%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 20.83% (6th grade) to 45% (4th grade), compared to the state average of 34.31% to 45.64%. However, the school's performance is on par or slightly better than nearby schools like Accelerated and KIPP Vida Preparatory Academy.

Global Education Academy has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.8%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, a large proportion of the school's students (67.58%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. These factors, combined with the school's academic performance, suggest that addressing attendance and socioeconomic challenges should be a priority for Global Education Academy in order to improve student outcomes and better serve the local community.

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.
