Summary:
The Monsenor Oscar Romero Charter Middle District in Los Angeles, California, consists of a single middle school, Monsenor Oscar Romero Charter Middle, serving about 300 students in grades 6 through 8.
This school serves a community with significant economic need, as over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Academically, the school faces considerable challenges, with student proficiency rates in English, math, and science all well below California state averages. Math scores are a particular area of concern, with only about 10% of students proficient compared to 37% statewide. However, it's important to note the school has shown steady, positive momentum, improving its statewide ranking percentile over the last three years.
Despite these academic struggles, the school is allocated substantial resources, spending over $24,000 per student. Key areas for family consideration include the school's slightly higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate and the notable performance gap in mathematics. The school's performance is stronger than the very low ranking of its overall district, suggesting it may be a comparatively better option within its immediate educational context.
