Summary:
This analysis covers the single high school within the Collegiate Charter High School of Los Angeles District, Collegiate Charter High School of Los Angeles, a small school serving 141 students in grades 9-12 in Los Angeles with a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Collegiate Charter High School of Los Angeles presents a mixed picture for parents. On the positive side, it offers a small, personalized environment with a low student-teacher ratio and has maintained a perfect dropout rate with a solid 82.4% graduation rate, showing strong success in supporting students through to completion. However, the school faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency in English, math, and science consistently below state averages, and its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years.
Key areas for consideration include a chronic absenteeism rate that is much higher than the state average, which likely impacts learning, and the fact that academic performance lags despite the school spending more per student than the typical California public school. For parents, this suggests a school environment that is highly supportive of student retention but is actively working to improve academic outcomes and student attendance.
