Summary:

Los Angeles Leadership Primary Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 302 students in grades K-5 in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA. The school is part of the Los Angeles Leadership Primary Academy District, which is ranked 1283 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges, with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 42.1% and test scores that are generally below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 26.95% of students were proficient or better in Smarter Balanced Assessments/English Language Arts/Literacy and Smarter Balanced Assessments/Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively.

When compared to nearby schools, Los Angeles Leadership Primary Academy generally underperforms. For example, PUC Milagro Charter, located less than a mile away, consistently ranks in the top 10-15% of California elementary schools and outperforms Los Angeles Leadership Primary Academy across all academic measures. However, the school stands out in its support for disabled students, ranking in the top 20% of California elementary schools for this subgroup in 2021-2022, suggesting the school may have effective programs and resources for students with special needs.

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.
