Summary:
The SEED School of Los Angeles County District contains a single public charter high school, The SEED School of Los Angeles County, serving grades 9-12 in Los Angeles with a residential program for 206 students.
This school stands out for its intensive support model, featuring an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 10.6:1 and spending nearly $70,000 per student, which reflects the costs of its 24/7 boarding program aimed at supporting a student population where 99% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this significant investment, academic results are mixed; the school performs above the state average in Spanish speaking (64% proficiency) and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (15.9%), but it struggles in core subjects like mathematics (15% proficient) and English Language Arts (42% proficient), both below state averages.
For parents, the school represents a unique, highly-resourced environment focused on college preparation for high-need students, with notable strengths in student engagement and conversational Spanish. However, the academic performance in key areas suggests families should inquire about specific strategies for improving math and literacy outcomes. As the only school in the The SEED School of Los Angeles County District, it offers a distinctive residential alternative but with academic results that are still developing relative to the substantial resources provided.
