Ingenium Charter Middle is a Title I public charter middle school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Winnetka, CA with about 216 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th 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.
