FRIDA KAHLO HIGH SCHOOL

Frida Kahlo High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Los Angeles, CA with about 150 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 6 teachers, Frida Kahlo High has a student/teacher ratio of about 25:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The educational model at FKHS emphasizes a personalized learning experience, often utilizing smaller class sizes and meaningful student-teacher relationships to ensure individual student needs are met. Beyond the standard core curriculum, the school integrates artistic expression and cultural awareness into its academic life, reflecting the values of its namesake. By equipping students with the tools to navigate both higher education and professional career paths, Frida Kahlo High strives to bridge the opportunity gap and prepare its graduates to thrive in an increasingly complex global society.
