Summary:
The Animo South Los Angeles Charter District consists of a single high school, Animo South Los Angeles Charter, serving grades 9-12 with 585 students in Los Angeles.
This school shows a remarkable pattern of improvement, having climbed from the 39th to the 57th percentile in statewide rankings over just two years. It excels particularly in supporting students to graduation, boasting a 95.1% graduation rate that is well above the state average, and its students perform strongly in English Language Arts. However, the school faces significant challenges in mathematics, where proficiency rates are notably below the state average, and it has a high rate of chronic student absenteeism.
Despite the attendance challenges and serving a student population where nearly all qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's low dropout rate and high graduation success indicate effective support systems are in place. The consistent year-over-year improvement suggests positive leadership and strategies, though focused attention on math instruction could help create more balanced academic outcomes for all students.
