How Isana Octavia Academy compares with California and U.S. medians
What stands out at Isana Octavia Academy
Isana Octavia Academy is a higher-need, mid-sized charter elementary school in Los Angeles, California, enrolling 363 students.
At 21.4:1, 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 runs somewhat above the state's typical profile, with 68.8% of students eligible for free meals.
Enrollment of 363 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 1,639 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #1,284, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly Hispanic or Latino (92% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 16/100).
Counselor availability sits well past the ASCA benchmark, roughly 363 students sharing each counselor, though short of the most stretched campuses.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 41.9% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 19.6% 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): Isana Octavia Academy is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs leaner classes (21.4:1 vs 23.2:1).
Isana Octavia Academy District is a single-school charter district, so Isana Octavia Academy operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
