UCLA COMMUNITY K-12

UCLA Community K-12 is a Title I public school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Los Angeles, CA with about 1,004 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. Student demographics can be found below. 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 49 teachers, UCLA Community K-12 has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. 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.

It appears there may be a slight confusion regarding the entity at that address. **700 S. Mariposa Ave.** in Los Angeles is the historical and current site of **Virgil Middle School**, which is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD).

While UCLA maintains deep partnerships with various LAUSD schools—often referred to as "UCLA Community Schools"—there is no K-12 institution officially named "UCLA Community K-12" located at that specific address. The primary "UCLA Community School" is located on the campus of the Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools complex in the Koreatown/Pico-Union area.

Below is a summary based on the actual educational environment at that location:
