Summary

Linda Esperanza Marquez High A Hntngtn Park Inst of Appl Med is a 9–12 high school with 729 students in Huntington Park, part of Los Angeles Unified. Students’ outcomes show a mix of strong completion and attendance, alongside uneven academic results: the graduation rate is 99% and chronic absenteeism is 13%, compared with 90% and 23% in the district. The most important finding for families is the school’s standout graduation rate: it is 12 percentage points above the state and 10 points above the district.

English is the school’s clearest academic strength, while math remains the main concern against state and district benchmarks. In 2025–2026, 66% of students were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), 16 points above the state and 17 above the district; this was the highest result among six nearby Los Angeles Unified schools with same-year scores, and 4 points above the next-highest.

Science proficiency was 36%, nearly level with the state and 4 points above the district; it also led those nearby schools.

Results have changed unevenly over time: science proficiency rose 15 points over four years and is now near the state rate, while math gained 6 points over that period but fell from the previous year. ELA has stayed strong, though its latest score is below its peak in the four-year series. SchoolDigger places the school at the 68th percentile with 3 stars for 2025–2026, the highest percentile among the six nearby Los Angeles Unified schools, but down 8 percentile points and one star from the year before.
