Summary:
Zip code 90019 in Los Angeles contains one public high school, Los Angeles Senior High, serving grades 9-12 within the Los Angeles Unified School District.
This school presents a mixed picture for families. On the positive side, it achieves a graduation rate of 91.6%, which is higher than both the district and state averages, and it maintains a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 15.8 to 1. However, academic proficiency is a significant concern, with student scores in English, math, and science falling well below district and state averages, and the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of California schools for the last three years.
The most critical challenge facing the school is a chronic absenteeism rate of 45.1%, meaning nearly half the students miss a substantial amount of school, which severely impacts learning. While the school spends over $24,000 per student, this investment has not yet translated into stronger academic results. Parents should note the high graduation rate suggests strong student persistence, but the low test scores indicate many graduates may not be performing at grade level, making the school's approach to supporting attendance and classroom instruction key areas for inquiry.
