Invictus Leadership Academy has very low proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the state and nearby schools. In 2023-2024, only 9.09% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) at the end-of-course level, compared to the state average of 47.04%. In math, the proficiency rate was just 1.82% at the end-of-course level, compared to 35.54% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking in the bottom 0.2% of California elementary schools for this subgroup in 2023-2024. Invictus Leadership Academy also had a chronic absenteeism rate of 36.5% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average.

While Invictus Leadership Academy and the nearby schools, such as Learning by Design Charter, Seventy-Fourth Street Elementary, Raymond Avenue Elementary, and Budlong Avenue Elementary, all serve high-poverty communities, Invictus Leadership Academy's academic performance is notably lower than its peers. The fluctuating student-teacher ratio and high chronic absenteeism rate at Invictus Leadership Academy may be contributing factors to the school's poor academic performance, suggesting that significant interventions and support may be needed 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.
