About MLA Partner Schools
MLA Partner Schools (formerly known as Mentor LA) is a nonpro?t organization working to improve schools and empower neighborhoods in some of the most disenfranchised communities in Los Angeles. MLA creates high performing urban schools that combine innovation, equity and access, offering a college-ready education to every child in the surrounding neighborhood. These schools become community focal points that support and strengthen their communities.

An MLA Partner School is a public school designed and managed in collaboration between MLA, LAUSD and community stakeholders. The city’s first Partner School, West Adams Prep, opened in September 2007 to serve 2500 students with a first-rate education, setting a new standard for public schools and anchoring a strategic revitalization of the surrounding neighborhood.
