Most rating sites would stop at “32% proficient” and call it done. Oscar De La Hoya Animo Charter deserves a closer read. The school sits in Los Angeles, where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 50.0% of low-income students met the ELA standard — versus 38.2% for the same group statewide.
As a charter, Oscar De La Hoya Animo Charter enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
