For far too long, low-income African American and Latino students have been denied the opportunity to achieve their full potential. Systemic racism holds students back, but these schools are finding ways to help low-income students of color thrive despite the odds.

Our annual Top Public Schools report celebrates the 278 schools closing the opportunity gap for low-income African American and Latino students in Los Angeles County.

What is a Top Public School? Top Public Schools are schools that are beating the statewide average in one or more factors including math and reading scores, college eligibility, and suspension rates. To qualify for our list, schools must also serve a representative proportion of low-income African American or Latino students. We use the statewide enrollment averages as minimum baselines, meaning that schools must have at least 43% low-income Latino or 4% low-income African American students enrolled in order to be considered. See the methodology.

This list highlights the schools that are leading the way, but in order for all low-income students of color to thrive academically we must radically transform our educational system. Low-income African American and Latino students combined make up the majority of students in Los Angeles County, yet only 23% of schools eligible for our list are closing the opportunity gap. We must all hold ourselves accountable to ensuring that all low-income students of color have access to a world-class education. Being silent enables this systemic racism to continue.
