of 2,162 California High Schools

Better than 53% of California high schools

Summary

Communication and Technical at Diego Rivera Learning Complex is a public high school serving about 505 students in grades 9-12 within the Los Angeles Unified district, located in a high-needs area of South Central Los Angeles where the vast majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school stands out for its impressive and steady improvement, climbing from a low state ranking to now performing above the district average and better than most traditional high schools in the immediate area, such as Dr. Maya Angelou Community High and John C. Fremont Senior High. It excels particularly in English Language Arts, where over 55% of students are proficient, outperforming both the district and state. The school also shows notable strength in supporting its economically disadvantaged students and has achieved a graduation rate above 90%, which is a strong recovery from previous years.

Despite these successes, families should be aware of significant challenges, including very low proficiency in mathematics and a chronic absenteeism rate that is more than double the state average. The school's performance is also part of a wider pattern within the Diego Rivera Learning Complex, where outcomes can vary between different academies sharing the campus, and when compared to some nearby specialized schools like Linda Esperanza Marquez High A Hntngtn Park Inst of Appl Med.
