Summary

Animo Compton Charter is a public school serving 372 students in grades 6–12 in Compton, in the Los Angeles area. The most urgent concern is chronic absenteeism: 41% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, compared with 18% statewide, and the school’s rate rose each year from 28% in 2023–24 to 31% in 2024–25 and 41% in 2025–26.

Test proficiency is below the state in all three subjects: 32% in English Language Arts (ELA) versus 49% statewide, 13% in math versus 38%, and 20% in science versus 36%. Math has the widest gap with the state, while among nearby schools with scores, Animo ranked lowest in ELA and science and second-lowest in math. Graduation is a more favorable state comparison: Animo’s 89% rate in 2025–26 was slightly above the state’s 88%, though below the nearby-school average of 98%. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 31st statewide percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26, above the Animo Compton Charter District, at the 15th percentile with 1 star.

Scores have improved since 2022–23, but substantial gaps remain: ELA rose from 18% to 32%, math from 4% to 13%, and science from 5% to 20%. The student–teacher ratio was 15.6 in 2024–25. That year, 89% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible; California is flagged as a statewide-free-meals state, so this figure does not mean other students cannot receive meals. SchoolDigger’s ranking for African American students showed a sharp swing in how effectively the school served that group: the percentile was 66 in 2024–25, then 21 in 2025–26, while the overall percentile moved from 36 to 31.
