Summary

Hollywood Senior High is a public high school serving about 1,025 students in grades 9-12 within the Los Angeles Unified district, located in the Hollywood neighborhood and showing significant recent academic improvement.

The school's standout strength is its exceptional English Language Arts (ELA) program, where 74.56% of students are proficient, a rate that far exceeds the district, state, and nearby schools like John Marshall Senior High. This academic progress is reflected in its rising statewide ranking, now in the 77th percentile, and a strong graduation rate consistently above 90%. The school also shows effective support for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, ranking in the 84th percentile for that subgroup, and spends more per student than several neighboring schools, which may support its lower student-teacher ratio.

While excelling in ELA, the school faces a notable challenge in mathematics, where proficiency is below district and state averages, creating a significant gap between subjects. Another area for growth is chronic absenteeism, which is higher than at comparison schools such as the STEM Academy at Bernstein High. Despite these challenges, the school maintains a dropout rate lower than the district and state averages, indicating successful efforts to keep students enrolled and on track to graduate.
