Summary

Environmental Charter Middle - Inglewood (ECMI) is a 3-star public charter school serving about 360 students in grades 6-8 in Inglewood, California, and it consistently performs above the state average in English and Math despite serving a community where nearly 9 out of 10 students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school stands out in several key areas compared to other local options. It has a much lower rate of chronic absenteeism (14.1%) than most nearby schools like Crozier (George W.) Junior High (40.2%) or Animo Legacy Charter Middle (29.1%). Academically, ECMI outperforms other schools with similar student populations, such as Prairie Vista Middle, and shows particularly strong results for Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students. It also demonstrates effective academic growth, with math scores improving dramatically from 6th to 7th grade.

While ECMI is a strong performer in its district, it's important to note some challenges and comparisons. The school has struggled with supporting English Language Learners and has a noticeable performance gap between female and male students. A nearby higher-performing school, Wiseburn Middle, serves a significantly different community with far fewer students in need. Overall, ECMI provides a consistent and relatively effective educational model in the area, especially when compared to traditional district schools within Hawthorne and Inglewood Unified.
