GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

From my three years having been spent here I can tell you that this school is a good school. It's not the best but its not my best. Academically speaking they could have done better but they aren't the worst. They have around 9 AP classes. The classes have good material and good teachers. The teachers here are great. What could be better is the class placement. Some kids are placed in lower classes than they should be in. This is also to fault that they put the much focus on the rebel kids. They put to much focus on that and not on the students that actually need help. This leads them to fall behind when they shouldn't be behind. Like I said its not the best but not the worst. There could be worst.

I have overall had a pretty good experience at Animo South Los Angeles. The teachers are all great and care about student's mental health + education. As well as having a family-like staff that cares for students from the office staff to the ceo's. The only things that have been bad experiences are from other students acting unruly and nothing being done.

The biggest issue that have is that there is no Drama teacher and students are being tested. There is not enough after school act...
