Summary

Alexander Hamilton Senior High is a large public high school serving 2,055 students in grades 9-12 within the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in the Robertson Boulevard area of Los Angeles.

The school presents a mixed academic profile, with a notable strength in English Language Arts where it outperforms district and state averages, but a significant challenge in mathematics where proficiency lags. Despite these academic hurdles and a high rate of chronic student absenteeism, Alexander Hamilton Senior High achieves an exceptionally strong graduation rate of 93.8%, surpassing both its district and the state. This success is particularly meaningful as the school serves a population with high economic need. Compared to other local Los Angeles Unified schools, Hamilton substantially outperforms Susan Miller Dorsey Senior High but is academically outpaced by the selective Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies.

When compared to high schools in neighboring, more affluent districts like Culver City Unified and Beverly Hills Unified, Hamilton's academic scores, especially in math, are lower, though its graduation rate remains competitive. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, and support for specific student subgroups, such as English Language Learners, has shown variability. Overall, Hamilton stands as a relatively strong option among comprehensive LAUSD high schools, effectively graduating students while facing clear challenges in mathematics achievement and student attendance.
