Summary

CATCH Prep Charter High Inc. is a small public charter high school serving 125 students in grades 9-12 in South Los Angeles, operating within its own CATCH Prep Charter High Inc. District.

The school has two standout strengths that truly set it apart from nearby schools like Manual Arts Senior High and Crenshaw Sci Technical Engr Math and Med Magnet. First, it has achieved an exceptional chronic absenteeism rate of just 1.4%, a dramatic improvement and far better than the state average. Second, its students perform very well in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates significantly higher than both the state and most local schools. This is notable given the school's high rate of economic disadvantage. The school also shows effective support for students from low-income families, achieving these outcomes while spending less per student than comparable schools in the Los Angeles Unified district.

However, parents should be aware of some important challenges. The school struggles with mathematics and science proficiency, which are below state averages. There is also a notable dropout rate, meaning that while most students who stay through senior year graduate, a significant number leave before completion. This contrasts with other local charter schools like Alliance Ouchi-O'Donovan 6-12 Complex and Math and Science College Preparatory, which have very high graduation and very low dropout rates. Overall, CATCH Prep creates a strong, engaging environment that gets students to school and teaches them to read and write well, but it has clear areas for growth in STEM subjects and keeping all students enrolled through graduation.
