Downtown Value School

Students take part in college preparation and career exploration through Value Schools, with opportunities to connect classroom learning to real-world experiences. The organization invites businesses and community partners to host interactive half-day or full-day career exploration events. Students can also visit colleges through the Back-East Scholars Trip, which has introduced participants to universities across the country since 2013. Value Schools reports that 97% of its high school graduates graduate, 83% are college ready, and 73% are accepted to four-year universities. Downtown Value School is part of Value Schools, a public and charter school organization serving students in Los Angeles. Its offerings include high school education and experiences focused on college access and career discovery.
