Summary:
The Alliance College-Ready Middle Academy 12 District consists of a single public middle school, Alliance College-Ready Middle Academy 12, serving grades 6-8 in Los Angeles, California.
This school serves a high-needs community, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, yet it shows a strong and consistent record of improvement. Over the past three years, its statewide ranking has climbed significantly from the 20th to the 39th percentile, reflecting meaningful academic progress. A major strength is student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 11%, which is well below the California state average and suggests a positive and engaging school environment.
Academically, while test scores in English, math, and science are below state averages, the gaps are narrowing. Performance in English Language Arts improves steadily from 6th through 8th grade, indicating effective literacy instruction. The school's per-student funding is relatively high, and its focused structure as a single-school district may contribute to its ability to implement targeted programs that drive these gains, making it a school on a positive trajectory for its students.
