About Woodrow Wilson Senior High
Woodrow Wilson Senior High is a regular public school serving 1,356 students in grades 9 through 12 in Los Angeles, California. It earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — a rating of Exceptional — placing it 18th among 1,892 high schools statewide and 47th out of 563 public schools in Los Angeles. Academic performance scores a 7.9, while growth — measuring how much students improve year over year — reaches 9.1, matching the composite.
That growth figure carries real weight: Wilson outperforms 98% of California's public schools, a margin that puts it among the state's top-tier campuses despite operating as a standard neighborhood high school rather than a selective magnet program. With 1,356 students and a student-teacher ratio of 15.8 to 1, classes stay manageable for a school of this size. Parents comparing large urban high schools in LA will find few public options that combine Wilson's scale with performance at this level.
The combination of solid academic scores and exceptional growth signals a school where students don't just arrive with advantages — they make measurable gains during their time there.
