Lashon Academy City scores 35 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 35th 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 “30% proficient” and call it done. Lashon Academy City 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, Lashon Academy City enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.

Frequently asked questions
Is Lashon Academy City a good elementary school?
Lashon Academy City has a Scope Score of 35 out of 100, placing it in the 35th percentile of California elementary schools and ranked #3,714 statewide. 8.2% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 13.2 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 Lashon Academy City's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 29.6% of students at Lashon Academy City met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 8.2% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 21.4% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 8.2% 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. 37 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does Lashon Academy City rank in California?
Lashon Academy City ranks #3,714 among California elementary schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 35th 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 Lashon Academy City getting better or worse?
Based on 2025 CAASPP data, proficiency at Lashon Academy City decreases by 3.5 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 Lashon Academy City?
12.4% of students at Lashon Academy City are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), which is better than the California average of 17.9%. The suspension rate is 0.7%, 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 Lashon Academy City compare to other schools in Los Angeles?
Lashon Academy City scores 35/100 (35th 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 127 students.

Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
