Summary:
The Animo Compton Charter District in Los Angeles contains a single school, Animo Compton Charter, which serves students in grades 6 through 12.
This school presents a mixed picture for families. On one hand, it excels at supporting students to graduation, with a rate of 90.7% that is above the state average, and it maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio. The school's state ranking has shown recent improvement, moving from 1 star to 2 stars. However, academic proficiency on standardized tests is significantly below state averages across all core subjects, with mathematics being a particular area of concern at only 8.46% proficient. Chronic absenteeism, at 30.8%, is also notably higher than the state average, which is a challenge the school must address.
Despite the low test scores, the data suggests the school is effective in helping students progress over time, as performance in English Language Arts and Science improves considerably in the higher grades. The school operates with very high per-student spending, indicating substantial resources are available. For parents, the key takeaways are that Animo Compton Charter has strong student support systems leading to good graduation outcomes but faces significant challenges in raising academic achievement levels and improving daily attendance.
