How Global Education Academy 2 compares with California and U.S. medians
What stands out at Global Education Academy 2
Small campus without a staffing-size advantage
Global Education Academy 2 enrolls fewer students than most California schools, yet its student-teacher ratio is still on the heavier side of the state distribution. Small enrollment therefore does not translate into more teacher capacity per student here. That makes staffing capacity, rather than campus scale alone, the useful interpretation. The counselor, attendance, and program indicators below help show whether the pressure is narrow or part of a broader resource constraint.
Need and resources require a component-level read
Global Education Academy 2 falls within the wide middle of the California distribution on both free-meal eligibility and the Resource Investment Index. Neither measure supplies an honest headline by itself. The useful distinctions are in the components: classroom staffing, counselor availability, attendance, gifted-program access, and district spending. Those fields can pull in opposite directions even when the overall percentile looks ordinary.
Attendance is the dominant support signal
Global Education Academy 2's 36.8% chronic-absence rate is more consequential than a generic staffing label: at least one quarter of students missed 10% or more of school days in the 2021-22 collection. That level can affect instruction, counseling demand, and continuity even when other reported resources look ordinary. The dataset records the scale of absence but not its causes, so it should prompt a current-year question rather than a conclusion about school management.
Global Education Academy 2 is a higher-need, small charter elementary school in Los Angeles, California, enrolling 76 students.
Class loads run somewhat heavier than typical: 25.3:1 puts it in the larger third of California schools by student-teacher ratio.

Its Resource Investment Index sits near the middle of the pack among 9,998 scored California schools.
Against 228 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks mid-pack at #140.
Counselor coverage is strong, about 76 students per counselor, inside the American School Counselor Association's recommended 250:1.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 36.8% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
The surrounding Global Education Academy 2 District spends $20,443 per pupil, 24% above the California average, a better-resourced district than most.
