District-Level NCES Analysis

Magnolia Science Academy 4 District operates 1 public schools serving 102 students, placing it among the smaller districts in California. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 132 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is geographically located in Los Angeles County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $20,550 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 19.7% local, 52.9% state, and 27.4% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 1 schools offering Advanced Placement (4 AP courses district-wide), a 132:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 41.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 85.6% Hispanic or Latino, 6.1% African American, 5.3% White across the district's schools.

Magnolia Science Academy 4 accounts for 100.0% of all Magnolia Science Academy 4 District student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Magnolia Science Academy 4 District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

Magnolia Science Academy 4 District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 85.3% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch

free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.

Magnolia Science Academy 4 District student-counselor ratio is 132:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.

Magnolia Science Academy 4 District chronic absenteeism rate is 41.7% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
