ranked #4,255 statewide · #501 of 580 in Los Angeles Unified
Accelerated scores 34 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 26th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “27% proficient” and call it done. Accelerated deserves a closer read. The school sits in Los Angeles, where four in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
As a charter, Accelerated enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

Frequently asked questions
Is Accelerated a good elementary school?
Accelerated has a Scope Score of 34 out of 100, placing it in the 26th percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #4,255 statewide. 7.4% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 13.9 percentage points below the California average of 21.3%. The Scope Score weights six dimensions for elementary schools: exceeded standard (43%), met or exceeded (22%), grade 3-to-5 growth (15%), chronic absenteeism (10%), ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%), and suspension rate (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are Accelerated's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 27.4% of students at Accelerated met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 7.4% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 20.0% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 7.4% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it reveals whether a school's curriculum challenges students beyond minimum proficiency or paces toward it. 420 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Accelerated rank in California?
Accelerated ranks #4,255 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 26th percentile. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), grade-level growth (Grade 3 to grade 5 growth), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.
Is Accelerated getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Accelerated decreases by 11.4 percentage points from Grade 3 to grade 5 growth. This downward pattern doesn't necessarily mean the school is failing — it can reflect cohort differences, demographic shifts, or curriculum changes. A campus visit and conversation with teachers can reveal what the numbers can't. Growth trajectory is weighted at 15% in the elementary Scope Score because it measures what the school does, not just who walks in the door.
What is the attendance and school culture like at Accelerated?
11.8% of students at Accelerated are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 0.1%, indicating a low-discipline-incident environment. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does Accelerated compare to other schools in Los Angeles?
Accelerated scores 34/100 (26th percentile) among California elementary schools. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 729 students. Use the schools in Los Angeles page or the map view to compare all elementary schools nearby.
How does Accelerated serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At Accelerated in Los Angeles, 34.4% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 40.9% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Accelerated trails its district average for low-income students by 6.5 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (22.4% Math proficient); Hispanic students (35.3% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 30.4 percentage points for disabilities students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 508 students tested. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
