Eagle Rock High

Tucked into the hillside neighborhood of Eagle Rock — one of LA's more tight-knit, artsy enclaves nestled between Pasadena and Glendale — Eagle Rock High draws from a community that genuinely cares about its local institutions. The school punches well above average across the board, with math scores that land in the 82nd percentile statewide, making it a solid choice for families who want a strong public option without leaving the neighborhood they love. Eagle Rock itself has that rare LA quality of feeling like an actual neighborhood, with independent coffee shops, local hangouts on Colorado Boulevard, and a mix of longtime residents and newer families who chose the area intentionally — and this school fits right into that fabric.
