Original Research by School Decision on Oscar De La Hoya Animo Charter High District
Oscar De La Hoya Animo Charter High serves only high school grades, drawing its enrollment from across Los Angeles County. The district operates a single school, Oscar De La Hoya Animo Charter High, and serves a student body that is overwhelmingly Latino, with a small share of white and multiracial students and very few Black or Asian students. The vast majority of the enrollment clusters in grades nine through twelve, with two students in grades seven and eight whose presence in the data may reflect administrative recording.
The district's enrollment sits at a modest scale for a high school. Data on the share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch was not available, nor were rates for English learners or students with disabilities, making it difficult to assess the economic profile or special-population needs the school serves from the information provided.
State testing results and proficiency data were not reported for this district, which limits a clear picture of academic performance in core subjects. The four-year graduation rate was similarly unavailable in the data provided. Without these measures, a reader cannot gauge how students are progressing through the curriculum or what percentage successfully complete a high school diploma on the standard timeline. A parent may want to reach out to the school directly for information on graduation outcomes and testing performance.
The district reports a chronic absenteeism rate that falls slightly above the median for Los Angeles County districts. This metric indicates that the share of students missing school regularly is broadly in line with the county as a whole, though a parent may want to ask the school about strategies to support consistent attendance and what barriers students face.
Per-pupil spending sits in the lower half of the middle range among county districts, suggesting the school operates with resources below the county median but within a typical band for the region.
On school type and governance, the data confirms this is a charter high school, though further details about the school's educational approach, particular programs, or recent changes were limited. A search for parent-relevant district developments found only directory and static profile information plus reference to a charter renewal petition, with no confirmable recent change that would shape enrollment or programming decisions. A prospective parent would benefit from visiting the school's website or contacting admissions directly to learn about curriculum offerings, college preparation support, career pathways, and the specific educational mission that drew the school's name.
