Los Angeles Middle Schools: Tours & Info
Founded by parents, this blog aims to help us all navigate the many options for middle school in Los Angeles. Rather than go at it alone, we share information to help make the best, informed choices for each individual child. Why reinvent the wheel? Welcome…and join the conversation!
This is a collaborative effort—please contribute! If you know of a great school that's missing, please post at "Suggest A School Here" (left column) and tell us what you know about it.

What is DUST? Hmmm…this site dynamically presents visuals of schools' data, like ratio of teachers to students, racial mix, etc. I wish LACES was on it as I could see factual data on racial mix so I can determine what my mixed son's race should be if we were to apply. Many other schools are represented, so take a look. (And while we're at it, what is "iridescent"? Also interesting.)
