CELERITY HIMALIA CHARTER

Celerity Himalia Charter is a public charter elementary school with about 615 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. Student demographics can be found below. With about 20 teachers, Celerity Himalia Charter has a student/teacher ratio of about 30:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Celerity Himalia Charter was a public charter school located in the South Los Angeles area, specifically within the 90037 zip code. Part of the larger Celerity Educational Group network, the school was designed to serve students in grades TK–8, emphasizing a college-preparatory curriculum. Its stated mission centered on fostering academic excellence and personal growth within a structured environment, aiming to provide families in the local community with an alternative to traditional district-run public schools.

The school gained significant regional attention due to its involvement in a highly publicized federal investigation into the Celerity Educational Group regarding allegations of financial mismanagement and the misuse of public funds. Following these controversies and subsequent legal challenges, the Celerity network faced intense scrutiny from authorizers and state regulators. Ultimately, Celerity Himalia ceased operations as a Celerity-managed campus, and the school was transitioned under the oversight of different educational entities to ensure continued schooling for the students in the area.
