Los Angeles Leadership Primary Academy

Summary:

Los Angeles Leadership Primary Academy is a public charter elementary school serving 302 students in grades K-5 in Los Angeles, CA. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, which is ranked 1318 out of 1560 districts in California and has a 1-star rating.

While the school serves a predominantly Hispanic student population (96.69%), its academic performance is consistently lower than the state and district averages. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were around 25-40%, compared to state averages of 40-47%. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 42.1%, significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 25.8% to 46.5%. The school also has a high percentage of students (84.44%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Gates Street Elementary, Loreto Street Elementary, and El Rio Community, Los Angeles Leadership Primary Academy consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of California elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, and may need to examine its instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems to better serve its diverse population.

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.
