How Camino Nuevo Elementary #3 compares with California and U.S. medians
What stands out at Camino Nuevo Elementary #3
Camino Nuevo Elementary #3 is a high-poverty, mid-sized charter elementary school in Los Angeles, California, enrolling 743 students.
At 22.5:1, 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: 93.6% of students qualify for free meals, 69% above the California average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.
Enrollment of 743 puts it in the larger third of California schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 94% of the 9,998 California schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 889 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #764, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.

Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 53.4% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 25.0% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
