Summary

CHAMPS - Charter High School of Arts-Multimedia & Performing is a public charter high school serving about 424 students in grades 9-12 in Van Nuys, California, operating independently within the CHAMPS - Charter High School of Arts-MULmedia & Perf Distri.

The school has a distinct academic profile, with a major strength in English Language Arts where it significantly outperforms the state average and nearby schools like Robert Fulton College Preparatory and Cal Burke High. However, it faces a notable challenge in mathematics, where its proficiency is below the state average and schools such as Daniel Pearl Journalism & Communications Magnet and Van Nuys Senior High. A significant area of concern is chronic absenteeism, which is higher than the state average and some local schools.

CHAMPS excels in supporting its students to graduation, with a rate exceeding the state average and far surpassing nearby continuation schools like Independence Continuation. Its most outstanding strength is in special education, where it ranks in the state's top tier. Compared to its closest neighbor, Van Nuys Senior High (part of Los Angeles Unified), CHAMPS shows stronger English performance and graduation rates but lower math scores.
