MARLTON

Marlton is a Title I public school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Los Angeles, CA with about 233 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten 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 19 teachers, Marlton has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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.

Marlton School, located in the Baldwin Hills area of Los Angeles, is a specialized educational institution that serves as the only public school in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) dedicated exclusively to the needs of Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) students.

By fostering an environment centered on visual learning, Marlton ensures that its students have full, unimpeded access to the curriculum, peer socialization, and extracurricular activities.

The school serves a diverse student body ranging from preschool through high school, emphasizing a holistic approach that integrates rigorous academic standards with social-emotional development. Beyond traditional classroom instruction, Marlton acts as a vital community hub for the Deaf community in Southern California, offering specialized support services, vocational training, and a culture that celebrates Deaf identity.
