We have 18 schools and over 10,000 students across Los Angeles.Our schools are located in some of the most underserved communities that have been denied access to high-quality educational opportunities, and we seek to prove that it is possible to close the access and opportunity gap that exists between low-income students and their more affluent peers.
What differentiates Green Dot California is our intense focus on truly serving ALL students, our collaboration with reform-minded unions, our work focused on large-scale turnarounds of schools formerly run by the districts, and our ability to take on the toughest challenges with the same public funding received by traditional district schools but accomplishing very different results.
We have three California Distinguished schools and 3 California Gold Ribbon schools, and several of our schools have been recipients of the CORE Districts' Academic Growth Awards, which honor schools having the greatest impact on student achievement.
Additionally, Green Dot's first turnaround, Alain LeRoy Locke College Preparatory Academy, was named Charter School of the Year by the California Charter Schools Association in 2019.
In June 2024, Green Dot California will bring many resources in-house, including IT, payroll finance, and public affairs.This change is a pivotal moment for Green Dot California to build new capabilities designed to empower and support our schools here in California.
