Summary

Orthopaedic Hospital is a public high school serving 653 students in grades 9-12 within the Los Angeles Unified district, and it stands out for achieving exceptional results with a student body where over 93% are economically disadvantaged.

The school's most remarkable achievements are a perfect 100% graduation rate with zero dropouts and an outstanding 79% proficiency in English Language Arts, both of which dramatically outperform district and state averages and far exceed nearby schools like Central High or Tri-C Community Day. Furthermore, student engagement is strong, with a chronic absenteeism rate of only 11.6%, which is less than half the district average, indicating a positive and supportive school culture.

While math scores are an area for growth, a common trend in the region, the school excels in supporting specific student groups and uses its resources efficiently to deliver these strong outcomes. Its consistent, decade-long high performance and recent rebound in science scores show a stable and adaptive learning environment that successfully rivals some local charter schools, such as Alliance Dr. Olga Mohan High, proving that a traditional public school can be a top-tier choice for families.
