The charter schools, Porter Ranch Community, Castlebay Lane Charter, and Beckford Charter for Enriched Studies, consistently outperform the Los Angeles Unified district and California state averages on standardized tests, while the traditional public school, Darby Avenue Elementary, lags behind but still performs better than the district and state.
Among the standout schools, Beckford Charter for Enriched Studies ranks among the top 190-255 elementary schools in California, with the highest test scores across all subjects and grade levels. Porter Ranch Community and Castlebay Lane Charter also perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 5-15% of California elementary schools. These charter schools have significantly lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to Darby Avenue Elementary, which has the highest rate at 25.5%.
Interestingly, the schools with the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Darby Avenue Elementary and Beckford Charter, still manage to achieve strong academic results, indicating that socioeconomic status does not necessarily determine a school's performance. The similar student-teacher ratios across the schools suggest that this factor alone does not fully explain the differences in academic outcomes, further highlighting the effectiveness of the charter school model in this area.
