Summary

Animo Ralph Bunche Charter High is a public charter high school serving about 530 students in grades 9-12 in Los Angeles, operating within its own Animo Ralph Bunche Charter High District and showing consistent improvement in its statewide ranking over recent years.

The school has significant strengths, particularly in English Language Arts where student proficiency far exceeds the state average and nearly all nearby schools like Frida Kahlo High or Matrix for Success Academy. It also boasts an exceptional 96% graduation rate, which is much higher than the state average and surpasses nearby options such as Central High and Tri-C Community Day. Furthermore, student attendance is better here than at most surrounding schools in the Los Angeles Unified district.

However, a major area for growth is mathematics, where proficiency is very low and creates a large performance gap compared to English. This pattern is common in the area, but the gap here is particularly wide. The school is on an upward trajectory and is a comparatively strong option in its community, especially for families prioritizing literacy and high graduation rates, though improving math instruction remains a critical challenge.
