Summary

Jordan High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in South Los Angeles, with approximately 800 students in the Los Angeles Unified school district, and it has shown one of the most dramatic academic turnarounds in the area, jumping from a 1-star to a 3-star rating in a single year.

The school's most impressive growth is in English Language Arts, where over 55% of students are now proficient, outperforming both the district and state averages and surpassing nearby schools like South Gate Senior High. It also shows exceptional strength in supporting specific student groups, ranking in the 82nd percentile for Special Education students and the 88th percentile for English Learners. However, challenges remain in mathematics and science proficiency, and the school's chronic absenteeism rate, while better than local continuation schools like Thomas Riley High, is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to other comprehensive high schools, Jordan High is now competitive with South East High and has a higher per-student spending than some peers, suggesting effective use of resources. While it still trails higher-performing charter options like Animo Pat Brown in overall ranking, its rapid improvement from the bottom quartile to above average in one year makes it a compelling and rapidly improving choice for families in the community.
