This outcome reflects the dedication of our students, families, school leaders, teachers, staff, and community partners who show up every day to make a difference. It also reflects the strength of our entire Green Dot community. From preparing for hearings and sharing our schools’ stories to showing up in support of one another, this process reminded us what we can accomplish when we come together around a shared purpose.
These five-year renewals are an opportunity to build on the progress happening across our schools, continue supporting students’ academic growth, and create even more opportunities for young people to thrive.
At Ánimo James B. Taylor Charter Middle School, we empower minds and shape futures.
Ánimo James B. Taylor Charter Middle School is a free public charter school serving grades 6-8 in the Watts community. Our school has a culture that feels like family, and we believe that greatness lives within our walls. Students know and feel that their teachers care, and the community works with teachers and staff to ensure all students are on a successful path. We invite you to join our community as we work together to best serve our students.
In 2023, we were honored to become a California Community Schools Grant Winner, allowing us to connect our families to partners and programs that support their needs.
