Summary

Maywood Academy High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 to about 1,012 students in the Los Angeles Unified school district, showing gradual improvement in its statewide ranking but facing distinct challenges in mathematics and student attendance.

The school's most pressing concern is its mathematics proficiency, which at 11.92% is significantly lower than the district and state averages, as well as nearby comprehensive high schools like South Gate Senior High and Bell Senior High. Furthermore, a chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% is notably higher than the area average and likely impacts learning. A striking comparison exists with Maywood Center for Enriched Studies, a school in the same community that achieves much higher graduation rates, test scores, and attendance, suggesting factors like school culture and program design play a major role in student outcomes.

Despite these challenges, Maywood Academy High shows important strengths and positive trends, including a stable 83.8% graduation rate that far exceeds nearby continuation schools, and it performs relatively well in supporting its special education students. The school's per-student spending is higher than several higher-performing neighbors, raising questions about resource allocation. Encouragingly, key metrics like graduation rates, dropout rates, and even its very low math scores have shown improvement over the past few years, indicating the school is on a positive trajectory.
