Student Achievement

One way to evaluate the school's magnet theme is through students' achievement scores.  After the Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) was administered to third, fourth, and fifth graders in 2023-24, Balboa Magnet was one of the highest-performing elementary schools in the state and LAUSD in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math.  Our school has historically and consistently outperformed the state and the district's achievement scores and met growth targets in the last eight years.
