Summary:
The Libertas College Preparatory Charter District consists of a single charter middle school, Libertas College Preparatory Charter, serving grades 4-8 with 301 students in Los Angeles, California.
This school serves a high-needs population and shows a remarkable pattern of academic growth, particularly in English Language Arts, where 8th graders perform above the state average despite starting well below it in 4th grade. However, overall performance is mixed, with math and science scores generally below state averages, and the school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which is higher than the state average. It's notable that the school spends more per student than the typical California average but maintains a student-teacher ratio that is slightly higher than the state average.
For parents, Libertas College Preparatory Charter demonstrates a clear strength in accelerating student learning in reading and writing over time, suggesting its program is effective for students who stay enrolled through the upper grades. Key areas to inquire about would be the school's specific strategies for improving attendance and its science curriculum, as these are identified areas for growth. The consistent three-star rating indicates a stable, mid-tier performance level within the state.
