How New Los Angeles Charter compares with California and U.S. medians
What stands out at New Los Angeles Charter
New Los Angeles Charter is a high-poverty, mid-sized charter middle school in Los Angeles, California, enrolling 317 students.
Class loads run heavy: 26.4:1 is larger than about 87% of California schools and 23% above the 21.5:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Economic need runs somewhat above the state's typical profile, with 79.6% of students eligible for free meals.
Enrollment of 317 puts it in the smaller third of California schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 98% of the 9,998 California schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 1,309 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need California schools statewide, it ranks #1,266, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is predominantly Hispanic or Latino (87% of enrollment) (diversity index 23/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 44.2% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 15.1% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Among Los Angeles's middle schools, it stands alongside Paul Revere Charter Middle (1,715 students): New Los Angeles Charter is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (26.4:1 vs 24.5:1).
New Los Angeles Charter District is a single-school charter district, so New Los Angeles Charter operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
