Summary:
The Camino Nuevo High #2 District consists of a single high school, Camino Nuevo High #2, serving grades 9-12 in Los Angeles, which operates in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
This school demonstrates notable strengths, particularly in English Language Arts, where student proficiency significantly outpaces the state average, and in supporting students to graduation, with a rate higher than California's overall. The school invests more per student than is typical across the state. However, there is a significant performance gap, as math and science proficiency lags behind both the state average and the school's own success in English. Additionally, while the graduation rate is strong, chronic absenteeism is higher than the state average.
Over the past few years, the school's statewide ranking has declined, and it recently dropped from a 4-star to a 3-star rating. The data suggests the school is effectively supporting its students in certain key areas like English and retention but faces challenges in elevating performance in mathematics and science. For parents, this indicates a school achieving important successes with its students while actively working to address areas for improvement.
