School Overview

Tucked into the heart of Los Angeles near Koreatown and the Wilshire corridor, John Burroughs Middle School draws from one of the city's most culturally diverse and densely urban neighborhoods — making it a genuinely dynamic place to spend the middle school years. Academics here land comfortably above average across English, math, and science, which is a real achievement in a district as large and complex as LAUSD. Families who are rooted in the area and want a solid public option without venturing far from their community will find Burroughs worth a close look.
