What stands out at Ingenium Charter
Ingenium Charter is a high-poverty, mid-sized charter elementary school in Canoga Park, California, enrolling 296 students.
Class loads run heavy: 26.9:1 is larger than about 89% of California schools and 25% 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 76.0% of students eligible for free meals.
Enrollment of 296 puts it in the smaller third of California schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 98% of the 9,998 California schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 1,199 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #1,164, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly Hispanic or Latino (89% of enrollment) (diversity index 21/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 55.1% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 15.6% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Canoga Park's elementary schools, it stands alongside Hart Street Elementary (699 students): Ingenium Charter is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (26.9:1 vs 21.8:1).
Ingenium Charter District is a single-school charter district, so Ingenium Charter operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
