Los Feliz Science/Tech/Engineer/Math/Medicine Magnet

Tucked into the leafy, creative enclave of Los Feliz — where craftsman bungalows line the streets and Griffith Park is practically in the backyard — this STEM-focused magnet draws families who want their kids thinking like engineers and scientists from an early age. The school pulls students from across LA through the magnet program, so classrooms tend to be a mix of curious, motivated learners whose parents sought out something more specialized than a traditional neighborhood school. It's a strong fit for families who love the idea of hands-on, inquiry-driven learning in one of the city's most culturally vibrant and walkable corners.
