MLA Partner Schools

MLA Partner Schools (MLA) currently operates two Los Angeles Unified School District high schools, West Adams Preparatory and Manual Arts, with a combined student population of more than 6,000 students. Under its contract with LAUSD, MLA has full authority for managing these schools as neighborhood public schools. During the two-year project, MLA will implement a new performance evaluation system that centers on professional development, data-driven instruction and accountability for teachers and school leaders to meet school-wide goals and improve academic performance. Grant funding will support two new performance analysts for teacher evaluation, data and planning, as well as associated technology infrastructure.
