- Overview
Camino Nuevo Charter Academy is a charter school serving the Westlake/MacArthur Park area of Los Angeles - CNHS received a 751 on its most recent API score, significantly higher than any other high school in its neighborhood. The school was awarded a 10 out of 10 from the state of California for its similar schools ranking. 80 percent of sophomores passed the CAHSEE on their first attempt, compared to only 67 percent of Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) students. [1]
Camino Nuevo Charter Academy operates two middle and two elementary schools in the same neighborhood. Students have a longer school day and year than students at traditional LAUSD schools, and smaller class sizes. Camino Nuevo schools are very involved with parents and the community at large; the school even operates a health clinic for family members. Camino Nuevo's official mission statement is to turn students into "agents of social change" by promoting liberal values (such as gay rights). At least once a month an event called Community Dialogue takes place in which pro amnesty for immigrants and pro gay rights activism takes place. Over ninety percent of students at CNHS qualify for free or reduced lunch, and thirty-five percent are considered English learners.Although Camino Nuevo has a high graduation rate and a large percentage of students who get admitted into college, most of them are placed in remedial classes and are unprepared for college. As of the 2010-2011 school year, Camino Nuevo enrolls 930 students. [1]
