West Adams Preparatory High School


West Adams Preparatory High School is a secondary school in the Pico-Union neighborhood of Central Los Angeles, California.
The school is a part of the Los Angeles Unified School District and is operated by a nonprofit organization working in conjunction with LAUSD. The organization, MLA Partner Schools, also operates Manual Arts High School.

History

The school, which opened in the fall semester of 2007, is divided into three smaller schools:
School of Business,
School of the Arts, and the
School of Invention, Design, Engineering & Architecture
Core programs include Advisory and "7 to 7".
Though West Adams is a LAUSD high school, it was designed in part by MLA Partner Schools, a nonprofit organization that now operates the school on a five-year performance contract with the LAUSD school board.
The school was originally opened to relieve the LAUSD's Belmont High School, Dorsey High School, Los Angeles High School, and Manual Arts High School.
