East Los Angeles Renaissance Academy:

ELARA is a Pilot School, an innovative model developed in a collaboration of LAUSD, UTLA, and the LA Small Schools Center. It is a result of LAUSD’s Public School Choice program, year one, and won its place at Torres in a public competition. The campus itself is the result of years of community activism, and ELARA’s proposal was developed in collaboration with a variety of community partners. It is one of only three high schools in the United States with an Urban Planning/Design focus.

Social Justice Leadership Academy Magnet:

Our ultimate goal is for students to take pride in their academic achievement and understand that education is an investment in our identity, to be engaged with our community, and to create a greater impact in the world with the application of their knowledge. Students will graduate from the Social Justice Leadership Academy and partake in a progressive society as confident and empowered individuals.  During common planning time, data-informed decisions will inform best practices that will be implemented in the classroom to help students access the core curriculum. Students will exhibit increased literacy, critical thinking skills, and reading comprehension.  We will also increase student writing and reading ability.  Students will learn from dedicated instructors, reciprocal teaching, questioning, summarizing and reading strategies.   Our school will practice progressive discipline using the RTI model, and support systems such as AVID, family, feeder schools and community support.  We actively seek and value student voice, transparency, accountability and communication amongst all educational partners.
