How Lashon Academy City compares with California and U.S. medians
What stands out at Lashon Academy City
Lashon Academy City is a higher-need, small charter elementary school in Los Angeles, California, enrolling 127 students.
Class loads run heavy: 42.3:1 is larger than about 99% of California schools and 97% above the 21.5:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 56.9% lands close to the California typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
Enrollment of 127 puts it in the smaller third of California schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the upper third of 9,998 scored California schools.
Against 321 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks in the upper tier at #106.
Its student body is led by Hispanic or Latino (79%) and African American (17%) (diversity index 35/100).
Attendance holds up well here: only 1.6% of students were chronically absent, below the typical post-pandemic national figure.
The surrounding Lashon Academy City District spends $8,865 per pupil, 46% below the California average, a leaner-resourced district than most.
Among Los Angeles's elementary schools, it stands alongside Wish Community (860 students): Lashon Academy City is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (42.3:1 vs 23.2:1).
Lashon Academy City District is a single-school charter district, so Lashon Academy City operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
