Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “44% proficient” and call it done. Environmental Charter Middle - Inglewood deserves a closer read. The school sits in Inglewood, where four in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: +15.9pp separates this year's grade 6 from its grade 8. The state average falls 0.5pp over the same span. Following the same students from 2023 G6 → 2025 G8 points the same way.
As a charter, Environmental Charter Middle - Inglewood enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
