Summary

Crenshaw Sci Technical Engr Math and Med Magnet is a public STEM and medical magnet high school serving about 500 students in grades 9-12 within the Los Angeles Unified district, showing notable improvement in recent years despite serving a community with significant economic need.

The school is on a strong upward trajectory, improving its statewide ranking from the 8th to the 33rd percentile in just a few years, which is a faster rate of improvement than nearby district schools like Susan Miller Dorsey Senior High and Manual Arts Senior High. It benefits from substantial resources, spending over $35,000 per student and maintaining a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.5 to 1, allowing for smaller class sizes. Its specialized magnet program shows particular strength in supporting African American students and English Learners, who perform above the school's overall average.

However, the school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, at 44.8%, which is much higher than the district and state averages and likely hinders academic progress. While its graduation rate is a respectable 84.8%, its dropout rate is also high. Compared to some nearby charter schools like CATCH Prep Charter High Inc. and Alliance Ouchi-O'Donovan 6-12 Complex, which have higher test scores and far lower absenteeism with less funding, Crenshaw Magnet has not yet fully translated its resource advantages into comparable academic outcomes, indicating that improving student attendance is a critical area for future growth.

I grew up in the neighborhood and attended Crenshaw High from 1984-1987. I have no complaints. I believe some people might have issues with the racial demographics of the school and the surrounding community. Close Quote
