CAMINO NUEVO HIGH #2

Camino Nuevo High #2 is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Los Angeles, CA with about 462 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 21 teachers, Camino Nuevo High #2 has a student/teacher ratio of about 22:1. 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.

Camino Nuevo High School #2 (also known as the Dalzell Lance Campus) is part of the Camino Nuevo Charter Academy (CNCA) network, a community of high-performing, college-preparatory public charter schools serving students in the Greater Los Angeles area. Located in the Westlake/Koreatown region, the school is specifically designed to provide a rigorous academic environment for students in neighborhoods that have historically faced educational inequities. The school emphasizes a "whole child" approach, integrating high academic standards with social-emotional support and a strong college-going culture to ensure that students are prepared for success in four-year universities.

Beyond its focus on core academic subjects, the campus is known for its commitment to serving a predominantly Latino/a student population through culturally responsive teaching and a focus on community empowerment. The curriculum often incorporates project-based learning and extracurricular opportunities intended to foster leadership and civic engagement. By maintaining small class sizes and a supportive campus culture, Camino Nuevo High #2 aims to bridge the achievement gap, ensuring that its graduates are not only capable of entering higher education but are also equipped to succeed once they get there.
