More students are graduating from Los Angeles Unified School District schools, but they’re not all going on to college. Two — Middle College High and Harbor Teacher Prep Academy — have selective — admissions based on applications and are located on colleges campuses. Another, Northridge Academy High, has a partnership with Cal State Northridge. He attributes the high number to such factors as a college-going culture instilled from elementary school, students’ ability to take community college classes in high school, and tools like Naviance, software designed to help students with career and college planning. Sherman Oaks students are bused to nearby Pierce College to take college classes during the school day, while Los Angeles Mission College professors teach classes at Navarro’s academy.
