iQ Academy California-Los Angeles

Summary:

iQ Academy California-Los Angeles is a public charter virtual school located in Simi Valley, California, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 1,289 students. The school is part of the iQ Academy California-Los Angeles District.

While iQ Academy California-Los Angeles has a higher-than-average four-year graduation rate of 81.6%, its dropout rate of 9.2% is also higher than the state average. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 24.9% is significantly higher than the state average, which is a major concern. Academically, the school generally performs lower than the state average on Smarter Balanced Assessments and CAST/Science tests, with proficiency rates in 11th grade ELA at 52.85% (compared to 55.73% statewide) and Mathematics at 17.6% (compared to 27.9% statewide). The school also serves a high percentage of students (74.55%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a lower socioeconomic status that may contribute to the academic challenges.

When compared to nearby virtual schools, such as Insight @ San Diego, California Virtual Academy at Fresno, and California Virtual Academy @ Los Angeles, iQ Academy California-Los Angeles performs similarly in terms of graduation rates, dropout rates, and test scores. These virtual schools generally face the same challenges, with lower proficiency rates, higher dropout rates, and higher percentages of students from low-income families. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism and improving academic outcomes should be the top priorities for iQ Academy California-Los Angeles and other virtual schools in the area.

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.
