What stands out at Equitas Academy 6
Equitas Academy 6 is a high-poverty, mid-sized charter elementary school in Los Angeles, California, enrolling 211 students.
Class loads run heavy: 42.2:1 is larger than about 99% of California schools and 96% above the 21.5:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Economic need runs somewhat above the state's typical profile, with 77.4% of students eligible for free meals.
Enrollment of 211 puts it in the smaller third of California schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 9,998 scored California schools.
Among 600 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #512, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly Hispanic or Latino (95% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 10/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 28.9% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 20.6% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Los Angeles's elementary schools, it stands alongside Wish Community (860 students): Equitas Academy 6 is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (42.2:1 vs 23.2:1).
Equitas Academy 6 District is a single-school charter district, so Equitas Academy 6 operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
