Summary:
The CATCH Prep Charter High Inc. District consists of a single charter high school, CATCH Prep Charter High Inc., serving grades 9-12 with 125 students in Los Angeles, California.
This school demonstrates a clear pattern of strengths and challenges for parents to consider. Its most remarkable achievement is an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 1.4%, far below the state average, indicating a highly engaged student body and effective school culture. Academically, the school shines in English Language Arts, where 65.5% of students are proficient, significantly outperforming the state. However, performance in science is notably lower than the state average, and math scores are slightly below par, suggesting some areas of the curriculum may need strengthening.
Despite serving a student population where nearly all qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the school has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking over the past three years. A significant concern is the dropout rate of 15.6%, which is nearly double the state average, even though the graduation rate is 84.4%. With a favorable student-teacher ratio and solid per-student funding, the school appears to have the resources to build on its strengths in attendance and literacy while addressing its challenges in science and student retention.
