Summary

Animo Leadership High is a public charter high school serving 634 students in grades 9-12 in Inglewood, CA, consistently ranking as a top-tier 4-star school within the Animo Leadership High District.

The school excels in several key areas, particularly its exceptional 99.3% graduation rate and very low chronic absenteeism at 11.0%, which are significantly better than nearby schools like Inglewood High (90.8% graduation, 43.7% absenteeism) and Morningside High (87.0% graduation, 26.7% absenteeism). Academically, it shines in English Language Arts, where 66.45% of students are proficient, outperforming most neighbors, though mathematics is a common challenge area for the region that the school is working to improve.

Animo Leadership High stands out for its strong performance with the students it serves, achieving high rankings for its student subgroups. It's important to note that performance can vary even among schools in the same charter network; for instance, Animo City of Champions Charter High ranks significantly lower. While the school's per-student spending is higher than some peers, its consistent results demonstrate effective support for students, alongside other high-performing local schools like Lennox Mathematics Science and Technology Academy.
