Summary

New Los Angeles Charter is a public charter middle school serving about 317 students in grades 6-8 in the Mid-City area of Los Angeles, operating within the New Los Angeles Charter District.

The school serves a community with significant economic need and, while its test scores are below state averages, it performs notably better than several nearby traditional public schools with similar student populations, such as Audubon Middle and Johnnie Cochran Junior Middle, and it does so with significantly less funding per student. The school has shown a strong positive trend in reducing chronic student absenteeism, bringing it nearly in line with the state average. However, the school faces clear challenges, particularly in mathematics and science instruction, and its performance for students with special needs is a significant area for improvement.

When compared to other local charter options, like the higher-performing Magnolia Science Academy 6, New Los Angeles Charter has a higher student-teacher ratio. The school's year-to-year results can be volatile, and it lags behind schools in wealthier areas like Beverly Vista Middle. A key strength is the clear growth in English skills from 6th to 8th grade, suggesting effective teaching in that subject during the middle school years.
