Summary

Alliance Susan and Eric Smidt Technology High is a small, 4-star public high school serving 239 students in grades 9-12 in Los Angeles, operating within its own Alliance Susan and Eric Smidt Technology High District, and it has shown one of the most impressive academic improvement trajectories in the area.

The school's greatest strength is its exceptional English Language Arts (ELA) instruction, with 73.58% of students proficient, far exceeding the state average and rivaling top performers like Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet High. It also achieves strong graduation rates and manages chronic absenteeism better than many nearby comprehensive high schools such as Felicitas and Gonzalo Mendez High and Woodrow Wilson Senior High. Its small size allows for a favorable student-teacher ratio and personalized attention, which appears to contribute to its rapid rise from the 50th to the 78th percentile statewide in just two years.

An area for growth is mathematics, where proficiency lags behind ELA, a pattern opposite of nearby Abraham Lincoln Senior High. The school uses its resources efficiently to deliver these outcomes, spending less per student than several comparison schools. Overall, it stands out as a successful and rapidly improving model compared to other local specialized schools like Los Angeles Leadership Academy or Ednovate - East College Prep.
