Summary

Wallis Annenberg High is a public high school serving about 484 students in grades 9–12 in Los Angeles, operating within its own Wallis Annenberg High District in a competitive area with several other school options nearby.

The school has significant strengths, including a high 94.8% graduation rate that exceeds the state average and a notable recent improvement in student attendance. However, its academic performance, particularly in science and math, is below the state average and has declined in statewide ranking over the past year. This is an important contrast to some very high-performing schools in the immediate area, such as Alliance Patti And Peter Neuwirth Leadership Academy and Orthopaedic Hospital, which achieve much higher test scores.

An interesting finding is that Wallis Annenberg High spends more per student than its neighbors, yet this higher investment has not yet translated into stronger academic results compared to those schools. The school serves a community with high economic need and shows a strong commitment to helping students graduate, but families should be aware of the current academic gaps and the competitive local landscape when considering their options.
