Summary

Animo City of Champions Charter High is a public charter high school serving about 300 students in grades 9-12 in Inglewood, California, which currently holds a 1-star state rating and ranks in the bottom third of schools statewide.

The school faces significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics, where only about 3.5% of students are proficient—a rate far lower than nearby schools like Animo Leadership High (25%) or George Washington Preparatory High (18%). Despite this, it achieves a strong 91% graduation rate, exceeding the state average. Performance is notably volatile from year to year, and the school spends more per student ($28,159) than many neighboring schools without correspondingly strong academic results. It also lags behind other schools in the Animo City of Champions Charter High District network, such as the 4-star Animo Inglewood Charter High.

There are some positive signs, including a dramatic recent improvement in services for special education students and a low dropout rate. However, chronic absenteeism has risen again after improving, and the school's overall performance is similar to that of a local continuation school, Ellington (Duke) High. For parents, the key takeaways are the school's struggle with core math instruction, its success in graduating students, and its inconsistent performance compared to other charter options in the area.
