How Accelerated compares with California and U.S. medians
What stands out at Accelerated
Accelerated is a high-poverty, mid-sized charter elementary school in Los Angeles, California, enrolling 729 students.
At 21.4:1, its student-teacher ratio sits close to the California median, within a few percentage points of the 21.5:1 state norm, neither notably crowded nor notably small.
Economic need is high: 83.8% of students qualify for free meals, 51% above the California average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.
Enrollment of 729 puts it in the larger third of California schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index sits near the middle of the pack among 9,998 scored California schools.
Against 1,590 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks in the upper tier at #289.
Its student body is predominantly Hispanic or Latino (99% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 3/100).
Counselor availability sits well past the ASCA benchmark, roughly 365 students sharing each counselor, though short of the most stretched campuses.
16.2% of students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 collection, in line with the post-pandemic national range.
Among Los Angeles's elementary schools, it stands alongside Wish Community (860 students): Accelerated is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs leaner classes (21.4:1 vs 23.2:1).
Accelerated District is a single-school charter district, so Accelerated operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
