Eagle Rock High, Los Angeles CA - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Eagle Rock High

Eagle Rock High is a middle and high school serving grades seven through twelve, sitting in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles. The school enrolls a diverse student body, with a notably large share of Hispanic students alongside substantial Asian and white enrollment. Roughly half the school qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student population spans neighborhoods across the district.

The school's academic performance shows a profile of uneven results. In English language arts, where students are tested, proficiency is above the midpoint, with seventh graders performing stronger than eighth graders. Math proficiency sits closer to the median. Science proficiency, measured only in eighth grade, is the softer area. These results place the school in the top quartile of Los Angeles County districts on a blended proficiency index, which reflects strength in ELA relative to peers. However, a parent may want to look into math and science support with the school directly, particularly given the gap between seventh-grade math (where performance is more solid) and eighth-grade math (where it drops notably).

The school's transcript data was limited to social studies results from the early 2010s, so current details about AP breadth, honors pathways, or dual-enrollment and career-technical offerings could not be drawn from the provided material. The school is not designated as magnet or charter; it is a regular public school within Los Angeles Unified.

Eagle Rock High sits in a neighborhood within Los Angeles, a sprawling, polycentric city shaped by residential, commercial, and industrial zoning. The immediate area around the school is accessible via the Metro transit system and local buses. Housing in the school's zip code runs toward the high side for the national context, though it reflects regional patterns; rents are substantial and the cost-to-income ratio for both mortgage and rental is steep. These housing dynamics matter for families considering a move to the area to attend the school.

Two district-level changes affect all LAUSD schools, including Eagle Rock High. In February 2025, the district implemented a comprehensive cellphone ban during the entire school day, including lunch and breaks; most high schools use lockable storage pouches. This is a daily shift in school culture and parent-student communication that families should anticipate. Additionally, voters approved Measure US, a major school facilities bond that will raise property taxes for roughly a generation to fund repairs and upgrades of aging buildings. Any family moving into the district faces a long-term property-tax increase tied to this bond.

State testing data was available for recent years in English language arts and math. Science data was available for eighth grade only, and social studies data were from the early 2010s, so a full current picture of course offerings and outcomes across all tested subjects could not be assembled from the provided material. Graduation rate data were not available in the provided information. For details on AP offerings, special programs, counseling and support staffing, or recent changes in course pathways, a parent would benefit from asking the school directly.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
