Lake Balboa College Preparatory Magnet K-12

Summary:

Lake Balboa College Preparatory Magnet K-12 is a public alternative school serving 587 students in grades K-12 in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The school is ranked 871 out of 1,568 schools in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lake Balboa has consistently high 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 86.2% to 100% over the past 5 years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Correspondingly, the school has very low dropout rates, ranging from 0% to 3.4% over the same period, much lower than the district and state. However, the school has seen a rise in chronic absenteeism, from 5.4% in 2017-2018 to 22.9% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the district average. In academics, Lake Balboa outperforms the Los Angeles Unified School District in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across most grade levels, but lags behind the state average in many grades for math proficiency.

Compared to nearby schools, Lake Balboa generally outperforms alternative schools like Berenece Carlson Home Hospital and Virtual Academy of International Studies/Humanities in both ELA and math. However, it lags behind high-performing charter schools like Larchmont Charter, Vaughn Next Century Learning Center, and Granada Hills Charter in many academic metrics. Addressing the school's challenges in math performance and rising chronic absenteeism could help Lake Balboa further improve and better serve its lower-income student population.

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.

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.
