Summary

Monsenor Oscar Romero Charter Middle is a small public charter school in Los Angeles serving about 300 students in grades 6-8, operating within its own Monsenor Oscar Romero Charter Middle District.

Academically, the school has significant challenges, ranking in the bottom quarter of all California schools with test scores in English, Math, and Science well below state averages; for example, only about 10% of students were proficient in math in the 2024-2025 school year. While the school's performance is low, it has shown some recent improvement, moving from a 0-star to a 1-star rating and seeing modest gains in science scores. Interestingly, the school spends more per student ($24,658) than most nearby schools, including higher-performing ones like Magnolia Science Academy 6 and Young Oak Kim Academy, yet its academic results have not matched this level of investment.

When compared to other local middle schools, Romero Charter's performance is lower than most, including the very close Berendo Middle. However, the school demonstrates a notable strength in supporting its Special Education and English Language Learner students, with performance for these groups ranking near the state average. The chronic absenteeism rate is also a concern, as it is higher than the state average and rates at several neighboring schools. For parents, the key takeaways are that the school is showing slow improvement and has specific supports for vulnerable student groups, but it continues to struggle with core academic achievement, particularly in mathematics, despite a high level of per-student funding.
