ranked #2,275 statewide · #246 of 580 in Los Angeles Unified

Global Education Academy scores 47 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 60th percentile of 5,744 California elementary schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

Most rating sites would stop at “50% proficient” and call it done. Global Education Academy deserves a closer read. The school sits in Los Angeles, where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

As a charter, Global Education Academy enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

Frequently asked questions

Is Global Education Academy a good elementary school?
Global Education Academy has a Scope Score of 47 out of 100, placing it in the 60th percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #2,275 statewide. 24.6% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 3.2 percentage points above 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 Global Education Academy's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 50.4% of students at Global Education Academy met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 24.6% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 25.9% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 24.6% 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. 240 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Global Education Academy rank in California?
Global Education Academy ranks #2,275 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 60th 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 Global Education Academy getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Global Education Academy decreases by 17.4 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 Global Education Academy?
15.5% of students at Global Education Academy are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 2.3%. 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 Global Education Academy compare to other schools in Los Angeles?
Global Education Academy scores 47/100 (60th 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 358 students.

Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 229 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.
