Original Research by School Decision on Teach Academy of Technologies District
TEACH Academy of Technologies District is a small public charter school serving grades five through eight in Los Angeles, authorized by the Los Angeles Unified School District. The school has about four hundred and seventy students, split across the grade band with the largest cohort in sixth grade.
The student body is predominantly Hispanic and Black, with roughly equal representation between these two groups and very small numbers of other racial backgrounds. No data on students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, students with individualized education plans, or English learners was available.
State testing data and graduation rates do not apply to this school; it serves only middle grades, which are not assessed under California's state testing system. The publicly reported information on academic performance was limited in the available records, so a parent interested in this school's proficiency outcomes may want to request detailed performance data directly from the school or the authorizing district.
One concrete measure available for comparison is chronic absenteeism. TEACH Academy's chronic absenteeism rate places it in the bottom quartile among Los Angeles County's districts, meaning attendance is a concern here. This is the kind of metric a family should discuss directly with school leadership to understand the drivers and what supports exist to help students stay engaged and present.
The school operates with per-pupil spending in the middle to upper-middle range for the county, suggesting resource allocation comparable to many district schools in the area.
A significant consideration for families choosing a charter school in the Los Angeles Unified School District is the stability of the school's authorization. TEACH Academy has recently completed a charter renewal cycle and maintained its authorization, so the school's operating status is secure for the current term. This matters because any non-renewal of the charter would close the school. The renewal documents are publicly available through the school operator's compliance page.
Families considering TEACH Academy should be aware of ongoing policy and legal disputes around charter school siting in LAUSD. In February 2024, the district adopted rules restricting where charter schools could be located on public campuses, particularly those serving vulnerable students. The California Charter Schools Association challenged this policy, and in June 2025 a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge ruled the restrictions violated state law. This dispute affects facility access and school placement for charter operators in the area, though the court's reversal has restored broader siting options. The full implications for this particular school's location and facility access are worth clarifying with school administration.
Prospective families should contact the school directly to obtain recent academic performance data, details on student support services, and specifics about how the school is addressing its attendance challenges.
