About Western Avenue Technology Magnet

Western Avenue Technology Magnet is a public elementary and middle school in Los Angeles, California, which is a big city. There are about 532 students at the school, which serves kids in kindergarten through eighth grade. There are 30 full-time teachers at the school, which means there is one teacher for every 18 students. This is less than the average for the district, which means that teachers can give each student more one-on-one time. The school focuses on a curriculum that includes project-based learning in addition to core subjects like math and English Language Arts. It also focuses on technology and STEM. Enrichment programs and group learning activities help students learn how to think critically and solve problems. There are as many girls as boys in the class. Almost all of the students (98%) come from families with low incomes. USA News says that about 10% of students are good at math and 18% are good at reading. This shows that there is still room for improvement in school. The school gets money from the district and Title I, but it doesn't say how much it costs to educate each student.
