CELERITY CARDINAL CHARTER

Celerity Cardinal Charter is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Sun Valley, CA with about 358 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 15 teachers, Celerity Cardinal Charter has a student/teacher ratio of about 23:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Celerity Cardinal Charter was a public charter school located in Sun Valley, California, serving students in the Los Angeles area. As part of the broader Celerity Educational Group network, the school aimed to provide a rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum designed to close the achievement gap for students in underserved communities. Its mission focused on cultivating high academic standards through a structured environment, emphasizing core subjects like literacy and mathematics while fostering personal responsibility and character development among its student body.

It is important to note that the Celerity Educational Group, including Celerity Cardinal, faced significant controversy and legal scrutiny during its operation. Following allegations of financial mismanagement and operational irregularities, the school network was subject to investigations by state and federal authorities. Consequently, the Celerity network eventually ceased operations, and Celerity Cardinal Charter is no longer an active school. The site at 7330 Bakman Ave. has since transitioned to different educational management.
