Summary

Alliance Kory Hunter Middle is a public charter school serving about 470 students in grades 6-8 in South Los Angeles, and it stands out as a school that is improving significantly year over year despite serving a community where nearly all students face economic disadvantages.

The school is on a strong upward trend, moving from the 34th to the 48th percentile statewide in just one year, with notable gains in English and math scores. It excels in supporting students with special education needs, ranking in the 75th percentile for that group—a top performance among nearby schools like Mary McLeod Bethune Middle and George Washington Carver Middle. Furthermore, its chronic absenteeism rate is remarkably low at 12.9%, far better than the state average and neighboring schools such as Thomas A. Edison Middle, indicating a strong culture of daily attendance and engagement.

While test scores in math and science still trail state averages, the school's 8th graders perform particularly well in English, outperforming the state. Compared to other local options in the Los Angeles Unified district and other charters, Alliance Kory Hunter Middle achieves its improving results with moderate, efficient spending and a lower student-teacher ratio than some peers like Aspire Centennial College Preparatory Academy. For families, this paints a picture of a school that is effectively leveraging its resources to help students, especially those with special needs, make consistent academic progress.
