Original Research by School Decision on Catch Prep Charter High Inc. District
CATCH Prep Charter High Inc. District is a charter school district serving high school grades, with an enrollment of about one hundred twenty students spread across ninth through twelfth grades. The school enrolls a student body that is roughly half Black and half Hispanic, with no White enrollment and no Asian enrollment reported. Smaller shares of students identify as American Indian Alaska Native or multiracial.
The district operates a single school, CATCH Prep Charter High Inc., which is currently open.
State assessment proficiency data and four-year graduation rates were not available for this district, so we cannot report how students are performing on state academic tests or how many students are completing high school on time. The data gap here reflects a pattern in charter school reporting, where some charter operators report to California through different pathways or simply may not be included in the state's published proficiency reporting. A parent interested in academic performance at this school should contact the school directly to ask about student outcomes and test results, or request the school's accountability reporting if it maintains separate documentation.
Chronic absenteeism is an area where this school's students are struggling. The chronic absenteeism rate places the district in the bottom quartile when compared against all other districts in Los Angeles County. Absenteeism at this level can be both a symptom and a driver of other obstacles: students missing school regularly often fall behind academically, and the pattern itself can become harder to reverse the longer it persists. A parent may want to ask the school directly about its attendance support, what barriers students face in attending regularly, and what interventions or partnerships exist to bring that rate down.
Per-pupil current spending at the district sits in the upper middle range among Los Angeles County districts, suggesting the school has access to a reasonable level of per-student resources, at least as measured in budgeted expenditure.
The school serves a small, concentrated population of students. The ninth-grade cohort is notably smaller than the upper grades, which may suggest variable enrollment or reflect a school in a growth or consolidation phase. A prospective parent might ask whether the school is expanding, stable, or experiencing enrollment changes, and how that affects class sizes, program breadth, and support structures.
Little public information was available about recent changes or strategic direction for the district. A family considering this school should reach out directly to understand the school's mission, its academic program structure, how it approaches the high school experience, what partnerships or pathways it offers, and how it supports students toward graduation.
