Summary

Linda Esperanza Marquez High B LIBRA Academy is a 615-student Los Angeles Unified high school serving grades 9–12 in Huntington Park. Its strongest headline outcome is graduation: the reported 2025–2026 rate is 100%, compared with 90% districtwide and 88% statewide.

Academically, ELA is its clearest strength: 62% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, versus 49% statewide and 48% in Los Angeles Unified. That was second-highest among six nearby LAUSD schools with comparable results, and 15 percentage points above their average. Math is the largest gap with broader benchmarks: 26% were proficient, 12 points below the state and 14 below the district, though this was still second-highest among those six peers. Science also ranked second among the peers, at 30% compared with their 19% average, but remained below the state’s 36% and district’s 32%.

Over time, math proficiency rose 10 points and science 19 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, while ELA increased 1 point overall but fell 7 points from its 2023–2024 peak. SchoolDigger gives the school 3 stars and places it at the 58th statewide percentile, second among seven nearby LAUSD high schools with ranking data; their average was the 39th percentile. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21.2, the highest among six nearby LAUSD peers with data. The school reported 94% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, a high rate that was typical of nearby schools reporting the same measure. SchoolDigger’s Special Education Students ranking shifted notably: the school’s percentile was 45 in 2023–2024, 90 in 2024–2025, and 68 in 2025–2026, indicating a sharp rise and then decline in its relative standing for serving this group.
