Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “25% proficient” and call it done. Antelope Valley Learning Academy deserves a closer read. The school sits in Palmdale, where four in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
As a charter, Antelope Valley Learning Academy enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

- — Growth data isn't available — the state needs matched grades across years to compute it.
- — Scored here as an elementary school — other grade spans appear in the data appendix.
- — Low-income students here trail the state average for their group by 10 points in ELA — worth asking how the school is closing that gap.
