Summary:

Wallis Annenberg High is a public charter high school located in Los Angeles, CA, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 464 students. The school is part of the Wallis Annenberg High District, which is ranked 598 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wallis Annenberg High has seen a significant improvement in its four-year graduation rate, increasing from 82.8% in 2021-2022 to 95.5% in 2022-2023, which is now higher than the state average. However, the school's test scores have been mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (52.1%) slightly below the state average (55.73%), and proficiency rates in Mathematics (16.81%) and Science (20.93%) significantly lower than the state averages. The school's Hispanic students and Special Education students have performed relatively well, but its English Language Learner and Disabled students have struggled compared to other California high schools.

When compared to nearby charter schools, such as Alliance Patti And Peter Neuwirth Leadership Academy and Ednovate - USC Hybrid High College Prep, Wallis Annenberg High's performance is mixed, as these schools outperform Wallis Annenberg High in terms of test scores, graduation rates, and overall school rankings. Additionally, Wallis Annenberg High has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.6%, which could be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. However, the school does have a relatively small class size, with a student-teacher ratio of 17.4, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention to students.

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.
