Summary:
The Animo Ralph Bunche Charter High District consists of a single public charter high school, Animo Ralph Bunche Charter High, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 622 students. While the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 92.3% and a low dropout rate of 3.2%, it appears to be a relatively low-performing school compared to state averages, with consistently lower proficiency rates in core academic subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
Animo Ralph Bunche Charter High has a statewide ranking that has fluctuated between 1084 and 1407 out of 2,323 to 2,348 California high schools over the past three school years, and it is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (97.91%) suggests that the student population faces significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 30.5% is relatively high, which may also be a factor in the lower academic outcomes.
Despite the school's challenges, it is still providing an educational opportunity for its predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and improving academic outcomes in core subjects could be key focus areas for the school's improvement efforts. While Animo Ralph Bunche Charter High may not be a standout school in the district or the state, it is still serving an important role in the community and has room for growth and development.
