Animo Ralph Bunche Charter High has shown mixed performance, with strengths in graduation rates and Special Education student outcomes, but challenges in academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics and science. The school's four-year graduation rate was 92.3% in 2022-2023 and 94.3% in 2021-2022, which are above the state average, and its dropout rate was 3.2% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the state average. However, the school's proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments/English Language Arts/Literacy (50% for 11th grade and end of course) and Smarter Balanced Assessments/Mathematics (14.89% for 11th grade and end of course) were below the state averages, as were its proficiency rates in CAST/Science (21.68% for 11th grade and 21.53% for end of course).

Animo Ralph Bunche Charter High generally outperforms the nearby schools, such as Metropolitan Continuation, Tri-C Community Day, and Central High, in terms of graduation rates, dropout rates, and academic performance. However, Wallis Annenberg High, a public charter school located about 1.7 miles away, has performed better than Animo Ralph Bunche Charter High in several academic metrics, including higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's high concentration of low-socioeconomic status students, with over 97% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
