Summary

Animo Compton Charter is a public charter high school serving 372 students in grades 6-12 in Los Angeles, CA, operating within the Animo Compton Charter District and serving a community where nearly 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school is on a strong upward trend, improving its statewide ranking from the 21st to the 36th percentile in just three years, which is a more dramatic improvement than nearby schools like Alain Leroy Locke College Preparatory Academy. It excels at helping students graduate, with a 90.7% graduation rate that beats the state average, and it maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.6 to 1. However, core academic proficiency in subjects like math remains well below state averages, and chronic absenteeism at 30.8% is a significant challenge, though it is lower than at Alain Leroy Locke College Preparatory Academy.

Animo Compton Charter spends more per student—$32,617—than any nearby school, including high-performing ones like King/Drew Medical Magnet High and Compton Early College High. This substantial investment supports a positive trajectory, but the school's test scores have not yet reached the levels of those neighbors. For parents, the key takeaways are the school's impressive graduation success and clear recent improvement, balanced against the need for progress in daily attendance and core academic achievement.
