Judith F. Baca Arts Academy

Named after the celebrated Chicana muralist and activist Judith F. Baca, this arts-integrated elementary school brings a strong sense of cultural identity and creative expression to the South Los Angeles neighborhood it serves. Families who value arts education woven into everyday learning — and who want their kids to see their own community reflected in what they study — will find a natural fit here. The surrounding area of 90002 is a tight-knit, predominantly Latino neighborhood with deep roots, and this school feels very much like an extension of that community spirit.
