School Overview

Berendo Middle sits in the heart of Koreatown, one of LA's most densely populated and culturally layered neighborhoods, where families from across Latin America, Korea, and beyond have put down roots. The school serves a community that is working hard and building something, and it draws families who are deeply invested in their kids' futures even amid the real challenges that come with urban school life. Academics are still developing here, so families who get involved — connecting with teachers, seeking out tutoring, and tapping into the broader resources that a city like LA offers — tend to get the most out of the experience.
