Arts In Action Community Charter scores 28 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 18th 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 “25% proficient” and call it done. Arts In Action Community Charter 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.
Test scores are one lens, and at this school they're a rough one right now. The sections below show the fuller picture — including the parts that are working.
As a charter, Arts In Action Community Charter enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 25.1% of students at Arts In Action Community Charter met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 7.0% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 18.1% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 7.0% pushed past it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number.

How does Arts In Action Community Charter rank in California?
Arts In Action Community Charter ranks #4,726 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 18th 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 Arts In Action Community Charter getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Arts In Action Community Charter decreases by 10.1 percentage points from Grade 3 to grade 5 growth.

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.
