Libertas College Preparatory Charter

Summary:

Libertas College Preparatory Charter is a public charter middle school serving grades 4-8 in Los Angeles, CA, with 270 students. The school is part of the Libertas College Preparatory Charter District, which is ranked 564 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating.

Libertas College Preparatory Charter consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics on the Smarter Balanced Assessments. In 2023-2024, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 47.49% compared to the state average of 47.04%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was 38.59% compared to the state average of 35.54%. The school's performance is particularly strong for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, as well as English Language Learners. Libertas also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15:1 to 18.9:1 over the past three school years, which may contribute to its academic success.

However, Libertas has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.5% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and some nearby schools, such as ICEF View Park Preparatory Middle (37.5%) and Stella Middle Charter Academy (24.4%). This high chronic absenteeism rate may be an area of concern for the school and could impact student learning and academic outcomes.

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.
