Urban Revitalization to Promote a Sustainable Community
/ / Los Angeles USD Sonia M. Sotomayor Learning Academies > Los Angeles, CA

As part of a community-focused redevelopment project alongside the historic Pacific Railway line and the Los Angeles River, the school revitalizes this former industrial park, bringing life back to this area of LA.

School officially started Fall 2011 at Sonia Sotomayor Learning Academies, with five different small learning communities (SLCs) operating on one single campus.

The campus supports 2,295 students in 85 classrooms alleviating overcrowding at three area schools within Los Angeles USD. Shared community buildings and spaces—such as the gymnasiums, library, performing arts center, as well as soccer and other playfields— surround the edges of the campus to provide ease of use, while centralized instructional buildings provide a quiet and secure learning environment.
