Summary:
The LA's Promise Charter High #1 District consists of a single public charter high school, Russell Westbrook Why Not? High, serving grades 9-12. This school faces significant challenges, with low academic proficiency, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population that is predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged.
Despite a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 96.6%, Russell Westbrook Why Not? High struggles academically, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy (37.21%), Mathematics (6.98%), and Science (8.16%) that are well below the statewide averages. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 51.9% may contribute to these academic challenges and the 3.4% dropout rate.
The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (75.89%) and African American (21.43%), and a significant majority (86.16%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. These socioeconomic factors likely play a role in the school's academic underperformance and high chronic absenteeism, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support systems to address the unique needs of the student population.
