Culver City has its own school district, but West Hollywood is part of LAUSD.
[edit] "No Howevers Allowed"
With all due respect to user WhisperToMe, is it really necessary to remove every trace of "however" in this article? Perhaps having more than one instance of it is a bit much, but "however" is a very effective transition when used properly. Keep in mind, a failure to use any when transitions when they are due is just downright poor witting.
[edit] All of L.A.?
Is it correct that all of L.A. city is serves by the LAUSD? If so, then the List of districts and neighborhoods of Los Angeles will save some duplicate work. Cheers, -Willmcw
- As far as I know, all of LA City is served by LAUSD. --Lan56 23:32, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Overlap
List of high schools in Los Angeles County, California contains almost (?) all of the regular LAUSD high schools. It's handy to have all of the county schools in one place, on the other hand duplication isn't good. Any suggestions? -Willmcw 23:01, July 24, 2005 (UTC)
LAUSD does not make up all of Los Angeles County, therefore the list isn't exactly the same. WhisperToMe 23:28, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
- If they were exactly the same then there'd be no question. They're partly the same. I guess I'm wondering if there is any point to either omitting the list of high schools from here and point to the list there. Or, vice versa. Any thoughts? -Willmcw 00:45, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] missing schools?
In looking at some of the "Los Angeles foo" articles, I discovered Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies, which is apparently an LAUSD school, but isn't in the list of schools. Does anyone know where the list in this article originally came from? BlankVerse ∅ 13:57, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
I will create a new category, "6-12" schools, and add the school there. Yes, LACES is definately an LAUSD school. WhisperToMe 16:15, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
There are alot more schools in LAUSD than are listed in that article. There are too many missing in the list, including the ones I have gone to. Ampc 01:02, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- We should be able to find a comprehensive list on the LAUSD site, and if we can, we should just link to it. I don't know if we need to even list here every elementary school and special program. So much school info strains sourcing policy already. Due to maintenance issues I think we should avoid encouraging articles about small schools. I do not want to have to watch list 50 or 300 more school articles. I think we should list all of the high schools, but below that we should be more selective - "notable primary and middle education". -Will Beback 08:20, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] redirect to nowhere
the link to Gaspar De Portola Middle School redirects to this page, and not to an article about the school. an or stub should probably be written for it.
also, it may not be the only school in that situation, and don't even get me started about the numerous schools that have red links.Tobias087 05:57, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Expansion
well, this article has a little background info, and then a long list of schools. that's all great, but how about actual info on the disctrict? statistics, other than just enrollment numbers? would be good...lensovet 02:04, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- Have at it! Err...I assumed you were volunteering??? Akradecki 04:13, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- I would, but I know absolutely nothing about the LAUSD and to be honest have little interest in it :\ lensovet 04:36, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
- I landed here too looking for info and the subject sure is taking a beating as a possible NNPOV problem. How about the bussing issue, which was fairly huge in the 1970's? Is there anything nice to be said? (LAUSD Honor Band maybe?) Group29 04:31, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Boundary changes
See http://www.laschools.org/employee/mpd/boundary-changes/ for 06-07 changes. Please help me update the article :) WhisperToMe 23:26, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] TfD nomination of Template:Los Angeles USD
Based upon the reasons that I mentioned at Template talk:Los Angeles USD, Template:Los Angeles USD has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. BlankVerse 20:30, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New schools
See http://www.laschools.org/find-a-school#all-projects for new schools. WhisperToMe 01:11, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Miguel Contreras Learning Center
When Contreras opens (do this now if it is open), please move it from the to be opened category to the list with the zoned schools.
See [1] about Contreras. WhisperToMe 05:15, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Split LA school list to new article?
The LA school list is becoming longer... WhisperToMe 04:02, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
- Isn't there something like over 1,000 schools in the LAUSD? I'd say keep this article as ONLY on the LAUSD itself, and then either create one article that is a List of schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District, or create separate list articles for each type of school. Either way, the lists themselves should be turned into two or three columns so that the lists aren't so long. BlankVerse 04:25, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Are there parts of Los Angeles in Las Virgenes Unified School District?
After seeing this map http://ecr.lausd.k12.ca.us/images/ecr_boundary_hi-res.pdf - I wonder if there are parts of LA in the LVUSD? WhisperToMe 19:46, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- For the record, there are exactly nine precincts of LVUSD in the City of Los Angeles, most notably the portion of the Bell Canyon tract annexed by the City west of the boundaries of Rancho de San Fernando and in Township 1 (Thomas Guide Page 529). See this link. I am going to go ahead and move the City of LA back up in the "all" category with the exception of those tracts. Calwatch 06:13, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Student Population Contradiction
The article says that LA Unified has the largest student population and yet implies it is second largest at the same time. 71.166.58.19 02:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
"is the largest (in terms of number of students) public school system in California and the second-largest in the United States. " WhisperToMe 02:47, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
