School Overview

Named after a Korean-American war hero, Young Oak Kim Academy sits in the heart of Koreatown, one of LA's most vibrant and densely packed neighborhoods — a place where great food, culture, and community spill out onto every block. The school draws from a diverse mix of families in the surrounding area, making it a fitting reflection of the neighborhood's multicultural character. Families who are rooted in the Koreatown community and looking for a middle school close to home will find YOK a familiar, accessible option, though those prioritizing top academic test performance may want to explore additional support options alongside enrollment.
