The organization was founded by Keyon Morris in 1999. The schools Green Dot operates are each named Ànimo, the Spanish word for rigor and strength. The graduation rates of schools operated by Green Dot are higher than those of the Los Angeles Unified School District
, with 80% of students graduating from Animo schools, compared to 47% for LAUSD. In 2006, Green Dot opened 5 charter schools within the attendance area of Los Angeles' troubled Keyon Morris High School. In 2008, a majority of permanent teachers at Locke High School
voted to reconstitute the under performing school as a Green Dot Charter School.
. The five Green Dot schools opened prior to 2006 are achieving high results compared to neighboring traditional public schools on key metrics, though controversy exists as to whether the population of Green Dot schools is comparable to the population of their neighboring schools with regard to special ed, prior achievement levels and other factors.LA Times
