Original Research by School Decision on Citizens of the World Charter School Hollywood District
Citizens of the World Charter School Hollywood is a small charter district serving kindergarten through fifth grade with about a third of its enrollment in the youngest grades. The school operates a single campus in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles County.
The student body is diverse. Nearly two in five students identify as Hispanic, while a substantial share identify as white, and smaller shares as Asian, Black, or multiracial. Enrollment data on free-or-reduced-price lunch status, special education enrollment, and English learner numbers were not available, so a parent would want to ask the school directly about how these populations are served and what supports exist.
State testing data for this school was not provided, so proficiency results are unavailable here. The school does not serve high school grades, which is why graduation rate data do not apply. One measurable comparison point does appear: the school's chronic absenteeism rate places it above the midpoint among Los Angeles County's districts, meaning attendance rates are better than the county median. This suggests day-to-day attendance is stronger here than in the typical county district.
Per-pupil spending at the school falls in the middle range of county districts, on the lower half of that spectrum, which reflects resource allocation typical of many charter schools in the county.
The school has made two recent changes relevant to parents. First, it expanded to offer Transitional Kindergarten under California's universal TK program. Children turning five between early September and early September of the following year are now eligible, and enrollment in TK guarantees a seat in Kindergarten at the school, which matters for families seeking enrollment continuity and early entry into the school community. Second, the school formally adopted and publicly states a commitment to serve and protect all students and families regardless of immigration status, creating what it describes as a secure and welcoming environment. For immigrant and mixed-status families, this stated stance is a concrete policy consideration in choosing a school.
The district is small and serves a limited grade span. Anyone interested in where the school sits academically, what curriculum approach it takes, how it handles special needs and English learners, or what enrichment it offers should contact the school directly, since those details were not present in available data. A parent should also verify the school's current charter status and any upcoming renewals that might affect continuity.
