History

The school opened its doors on September 12, 1927.[2]

It was in the Los Angeles City High School District until 1961, when it merged into LAUSD.[3]

Eagle Rock was relieved of overcrowding when Central Region High School 13, also known as Taylor Yard and then as Sonia M. Sotomayor Learning Academies opened in 2011.[4]

Student Body

Eagle Rock High School serves the Northeast Los Angeles neighborhoods of Eagle Rock and Mt. Washington, as well as parts of Highland Park and Glassell Park.

The student body is estimated to be 60% Hispanic, 28% Asian, 9% Non-Hispanic White, 2% Black, 0.4% Pacific Islander/Native American, and 0.04% Mixed Race.[5] U.S. News & World Report estimates that 65% of students are economically disadvantaged, meaning they are eligible for the free- or reduced-lunch program.
