Dr. Maya Angelou Community High

Dr. Maya Angelou Community High sits in the heart of South LA, a dense, working-class neighborhood where schools that genuinely serve their students stand out. With test scores that place it in the bottom tier statewide, this school is best suited for families who are actively engaged and looking to supplement their student's education — the name carries inspiration, but the academics still have room to grow. Families rooted in the 90011 community who value a smaller, community-focused environment and are willing to stay involved in their child's learning journey may find it a meaningful local option.
