How Renaissance Arts Academy compares with California and U.S. medians
What stands out at Renaissance Arts Academy
Renaissance Arts Academy is a higher-need, mid-sized charter combined-grade school in Los Angeles, California, enrolling 475 students.
Class sizes run a bit leaner than typical: 17.6:1 puts it in the smaller third of California schools by student-teacher ratio.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 53.3% lands close to the California typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
With 475 students, its enrollment sits close to the California median campus size.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the upper third of 9,998 scored California schools.
Against 1,571 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks in the upper tier at #216.
Its student body is led by Hispanic or Latino (51%) and White (25%) (diversity index 66/100).
Counselor access is stretched at roughly 475 students per counselor, well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ceiling.
Attendance holds up well here: only 4.6% of students were chronically absent, below the typical post-pandemic national figure.
Among Los Angeles's public schools, it stands alongside Eagle Rock High (2,031 students): Renaissance Arts Academy is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs leaner classes (17.6:1 vs 19.5:1).
Renaissance Arts Academy District is a single-school charter district, so Renaissance Arts Academy operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
