Is it that the “Golden Boy” has the midas touch in the Charter school, which bears his name, has out performed all of the neighboring schools in the local and surrounding communities? “Not at all”, said De La Hoya, “The improvement of the academic performance results of the students is a combination of good study habits, parent involvement and dedicated teachers. Joint effort on everyone’s part is the key to positive results.” De La Hoya continued, “Consistency in participation is the key factor that will allow the Oscar De La Hoya Animo Charter High School continue to meet the annual growth targets and become one of California’s leading educators”. According to API results the De La Hoya High School scored 28% higher than it’s peers serving the Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles areas, and will be one of the highest ranked in similar schools ranking within California.

Oscar De La Hoya Animo Charter High School is a part of the Green Dot Public network.
