Learn more about LA’s Promise!
r
r The mission of LA’s Promise is to graduate every student attending an LA’s Promise neighborhood school college and career ready. This neighborhood’s enrollment zone includes two large South LA high schools (Manual Arts and West Adams Prep) and one middle school (John Muir) operated by LA’s Promise in a first-of-its-kind performance contract with the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). Through a robust school turnaround model, LA’s Promise partners with these schools to transform them into community hubs that offer comprehensive support services for students and families. By doing this, LA’s Promise will prepare every child in LA’s Promise Neighborhood to be college and career-ready, healthy and successful in life.
