Summary

Alliance Morgan McKinzie High is a public charter high school serving 450 students in grades 9-12 in the Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles, and it stands out as a consistently improving school that excels with the community it serves.

The school has shown remarkable growth, moving from a 2-star to a 4-star rating and now ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide, significantly higher than most nearby schools. It outperforms local peers in key areas like test scores, with 60% proficiency in English and 42% in math, and maintains a strong 88.7% graduation rate with a low 3.8% dropout rate.

While there is room for growth, particularly in supporting English Learners, Alliance Morgan McKinzie High demonstrates that stable leadership and focused instruction can lead to outstanding and consistent results for all students.
