Precollegiate Education

The mission of Green Dot Public Schools is to transform public education in Los Angeles. The strategy is to restructure large, failing high schools into clusters of small, successful schools. Green Dot’s first School Transformation was launched around Jefferson Senior High School in South Los Angeles. In fall 2006, five new charter high schools were established around the campus. Animo Pat Brown was one of those new schools, opening in temporary quarters with its first class of 150 ninth graders. By fall 2009, it will be at full capacity with 560 students in grades nine through twelve. This project will construct a permanent facility in South Los Angeles that will help Animo Pat Brown solidify and increase its students’ academic gains.
