Summary:
The Oscar De La Hoya Animo Charter High District in Los Angeles, California, contains a single high school, Oscar De La Hoya Animo Charter High, serving 515 students in grades 9 through 12.
This charter school excels in supporting its students to graduation, with a 96.8% graduation rate that is well above the state average, and a very low dropout rate of 2.4%. This is a significant strength, especially considering that over 95% of the student population is economically disadvantaged. However, academic performance is mixed; while English proficiency is close to the state average, math and science scores are notably lower, with only 15% of students proficient in math. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated in recent years.
Key areas for parents to consider include the school's strong record of getting students to complete their diplomas and the high level of per-student funding. Challenges include addressing the math performance gap and a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the state average. The school's performance suggests it provides effective support systems for student retention, but families may want to inquire about specific academic interventions, particularly in mathematics.
