How Icef View Park Preparatory Middle compares with California and U.S. medians
What stands out at Icef View Park Preparatory Middle
Icef View Park Preparatory Middle is a high-poverty, mid-sized charter middle school in Los Angeles, California, enrolling 256 students.
At 21.3:1, 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: 90.8% of students qualify for free meals, 64% above the California average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.
Enrollment of 256 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 544 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #409, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly African American (91% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 17/100).
Counselor coverage runs a bit thin, about 256 students per counselor, somewhat past the ASCA-recommended 250:1 benchmark.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 45.7% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 15.2% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
