Summary:
The Libertas College Preparatory Charter District contains one middle school, Libertas College Preparatory Charter, serving grades 4-8 in Los Angeles with 301 students.
This school shows a clear pattern of academic growth in English Language Arts, with 8th graders outperforming the state average, though 4th graders start significantly behind. Performance in math is mixed, with 5th grade being a particular strength, while science scores are an area for improvement across all tested grades. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating over the last three years, though its statewide ranking has dipped slightly.
Key factors for families to consider include a chronic absenteeism rate above the state average and a student population where over 90% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which highlights the economic challenges the community faces. The school's per-student spending is substantial, and the data suggests that targeted support in early literacy, sustained math progress into middle school grades, and science instruction could help build on the existing strengths in upper-grade ELA.
