As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote Amazing school and great over all community for both learning and for families to engage. We are over 8 years into our experience, with two children, and wouldn't change a thing. As an affiliate Charter school there are of course limitations on what can be done outside of the bounds of LAUSD but the level of parent/community engagement and fundraising definitely helps to set it apart. We think that you would be very hard pressed to find a better elementary school in the area. Close Quote

Open Quote This is our 8th year as parents at Kenter. We absolutely love the school and the community around it. The education that our children have received has been outstanding. The campus is always being improved and the grounds are well kept. From the amazing teachers, to extra activities, to the annual Gala fundraiser, we have been deeply thrilled with our experience at this incredible school. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
