Summary:
Animo Compton Charter District has one school, Animo Compton Charter, serving 372 students in grades 6–12 in Compton. The school’s 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 15.6:1. Because it is the only school listed, families cannot compare schools within the district. The clearest academic concern is math: in 2025–2026, 13% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide—a 26-point gap.
Animo Compton Charter is both the highest and lowest school in this one-school list, so that is not a meaningful local ranking. Compared with California, the school was below state proficiency in all three subjects: ELA was 32% versus 49%, math 13% versus 38%, and science 20% versus 36%. Science was closest to the state, with a 16-point gap, while ELA was 18 points behind. Results also differ by grade: grade 8 ELA was 41%, relatively close to the state’s 49%, but grade 6 ELA was 14% versus 48%; grade 11 math was 3% versus 32%. Graduation and dropout comparisons were more favorable: the graduation rate was 89% versus 88% statewide, and the dropout rate was 7% versus 8%. Chronic absenteeism stands out as a serious concern at 41%, compared with 18% statewide.
Proficiency improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 in every subject: by 1 point in ELA, 4 in math, and 8 in science. The state gaps narrowed by 1 point in ELA, 3 in math, and 5 in science, though results remained below state levels. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 17th percentile in 2023–2024, 36th in 2024–2025, and 31st in 2025–2026—higher than two years earlier but down 5 percentile points from the previous year. SchoolDigger lists the district at the 15th percentile with one star. The school reported 89% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; this is context, not an explanation for results.
