Locke High charter progress may not prevent closure

The Los Angeles County Board of Education is reviewing the potential closure of Locke College Preparatory Academy in Watts, a charter school operated by Green Dot Public Schools. Los Angeles Unified School District considers the school "chronically underperforming" based on its standardized test scores, despite some improvement in graduation rates and academic growth data presented by supporters. The decision hinges on differing interpretations of student progress, with district evaluators focusing on test scores and supporters emphasizing growth metrics. The outcome will determine whether the school remains open or is returned to district control.
