Summary

Hollenbeck Middle is a public school serving 927 students in grades 6-8 in the Boyle Heights/East Los Angeles area, operating within the Los Angeles Unified district and showing a strong trajectory of academic improvement in recent years.

This school stands out for performing at or above district and state averages in mathematics, a notable achievement given that it serves a high-need community. The school is particularly effective with its core student population, earning 4-star ratings for its work with Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
