Maywood Academy High

Maywood Academy High sits in the small, densely populated city of Maywood, just southeast of downtown Los Angeles, where tight-knit Latino families have deep roots and a strong sense of community pride. The school's English scores show some promise, but math and science present real challenges, making it a better fit for families who are actively engaged in supplementing their student's education at home or through outside programs. For families committed to the neighborhood and looking to be hands-on partners in their child's high school journey, Maywood Academy can be a starting point — but it works best when students have strong support beyond the classroom.
