Para Los Ninos Charter

Q: Is Para Los Ninos Charter a good school?

Para Los Ninos Charter ranks 2244 th of 5862 California elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Para Los Ninos Charter is an elementary school serving 274 students in grades K-5 in Los Angeles, California. The school has been rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger for the past 3 school years, ranking between 2,311 and 2,695 out of around 5,800-5,900 California elementary schools.

Overall, Para Los Ninos Charter appears to be a relatively high-performing school, especially for its Hispanic, English Language Learner (ELL), and low socioeconomic status (SES) student populations. The school outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics proficiency at most grade levels, and its 5th grade science proficiency rate is also higher than the state's. Compared to nearby schools like Ninth Street Elementary and KIPP Promesa Prep, Para Los Ninos Charter generally achieves higher test scores, particularly in ELA and science. This suggests the school may have effective strategies in place to support its predominantly low-income student population and help them succeed academically.

However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.4% is a concern that should be addressed to further improve student outcomes. Additionally, while the school performs well for its Hispanic, ELL, and low-SES students, its rankings for female and male students are more average. Overall, Para Los Ninos Charter appears to be a strong option for families in the Para Los Ninos Charter District, particularly those with students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

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.
