Summary:
The Math and Science College Preparatory District in Los Angeles, California, consists of a single public charter high school, Math and Science College Preparatory, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 539 students.
Math and Science College Preparatory stands out for its impressive 99.2% four-year graduation rate and diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students (69.02%) and significant representation from other racial/ethnic groups. However, the school faces challenges in academic performance, with 11th-grade students scoring below the state average in Mathematics (20.8% proficient) and Science (25.6% proficient), despite performing slightly above the state average in English Language Arts/Literacy (56.8% proficient). The school's high percentage of students (90.17%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch also highlights the significant economic disadvantages faced by the student population.
Despite these challenges, Math and Science College Preparatory has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, with a decline from a 4-star rating in 2018-2019 to a 2-star rating in 2021-2022, before improving to a 3-star rating in the current school year. This volatility suggests the need for a deeper analysis to understand the factors contributing to these changes and to develop strategies for more consistent and sustainable improvement in the school's performance.
