Summary:
The Wallis Annenberg High District consists of a single public high school, Wallis Annenberg High in Los Angeles, serving grades 9-12 with 484 students, where the vast majority qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Wallis Annenberg High shows a notable strength in supporting students to graduation, with a rate of 94.8% that exceeds the state average, alongside a lower-than-average dropout and chronic absenteeism rate. However, academic proficiency in core subjects like English, math, and science is significantly below state averages, with science scores being a particular area of concern. The school's statewide ranking has also been volatile, dropping from 3 stars to 2 stars in the most recent year.
This creates a complex picture: the school is effectively keeping students enrolled and graduating them, which is a significant positive, but there is a clear need to improve the academic outcomes for those graduates. With per-student spending above typical levels, parents may want to understand how resources are being used to address these academic gaps while the school builds on its successes in student retention and graduation.
