In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 34.64% in ELA and 39.74% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low in 4th grade ELA, where only 32.47% of students were proficient, compared to the state average of 43.9%.

Equitas Academy #3 Charter performs relatively well in serving English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the top 20% of California elementary schools for this subgroup in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's performance for other subgroups, such as female students, male students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, is generally in the bottom half of California elementary schools. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.3% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Camino Nuevo Charter Academy (4.8%) and Hoover Street Elementary (25.2%). The school's location in a low-income area of Los Angeles, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, likely presents unique challenges that the school must address to improve student outcomes.

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.
