Summary

Diego Rivera Learning Complex Green Design STEAM Academy is a public high school serving about 493 students in grades 9-12 in South Los Angeles, operating within the Los Angeles Unified school district.

This school is a story of impressive strengths and notable challenges. It stands out for its excellent 90.3% graduation rate, which is higher than the state average and surpasses nearby schools like John C. Fremont Senior High and Dr. Maya Angelou Community High. However, it faces a significant hurdle with mathematics proficiency, which is much lower than its strong English scores and below district and state averages. Attendance is also a concern, with chronic absenteeism higher than average, though similar to other local comprehensive high schools.

The school has shown a remarkable capacity for rapid improvement, jumping from a 1-star to a 3-star rating in the most recent year. Interestingly, there is wide variation among the four different schools sharing the Diego Rivera campus, with the Performing Arts Community at Diego Rivera Learning Complex ranking lower, suggesting program and leadership make a big difference. Compared to a nearby charter, Synergy Quantum Academy, Diego Rivera has a higher graduation rate but lower math scores and higher absenteeism.
