Original Research by School Decision on New Village Girls Academy District
New Village Girls Academy District is a small all-girls charter high school serving students in grades nine through twelve in Los Angeles. The school itself, New Village Girls Academy, is the sole entity in the district.
The enrollment is quite small, with roughly thirty students in ninth grade, and fewer than thirty in each of the three grades that follow. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with a very small number of students from other racial and ethnic backgrounds. Data on free-or-reduced-price lunch eligibility, special education enrollment, and English learner populations were not available.
State assessment results and proficiency data were not provided, so the school's academic performance cannot be characterized from standardized measures. Similarly, a four-year graduation rate was not reported in the available data. These gaps may reflect the school's alternative or specialized status; readers seeking clarity on student outcomes and academic achievement should ask the school directly about its testing results, graduation rates, and college and career placement data.
The school operates as an authorized charter under the Los Angeles Unified School District. It is located in the Rampart Village area of Los Angeles. Web research indicates the school's prior charter authorization ran through mid-2025, and board activity suggests continued operation into 2025, implying likely renewal, though no formally dated new charter term was publicly confirmed.
Among Los Angeles County's districts, the school reports a chronic absenteeism rate in the bottom quartile, meaning absenteeism is notably high compared to other districts in the county. Per-pupil current spending is in the upper range among county districts, suggesting the school allocates substantial resources per enrolled student.
For families considering this school, the very small cohort size means a close-knit peer environment and the likelihood of individualized attention, but also limited peer diversity and fewer elective and course options than a larger high school would offer. Parents may want to ask the school directly about its academic curricula, support services, college-preparatory offerings, and track record with student placement after graduation. The high absenteeism rate warrants further conversation about engagement and any systemic barriers to attendance.
