Though West Adams is a LAUSD high school, it was designed in part by MLA Partner Schools, a nonprofit organization that now operates the school on a five year performance contract with the LAUSD school board. [1]
The school was originally opened to relieve the LAUSD's Belmont High School, Dorsey High School, Los Angeles High School, and Manual Arts High School. [1]
It houses four small schools: (1)Business & Enterprise(2)Media, Film & Arts, Invention, (3)Invention, Design, Engineering & Architecture,& (4)Science & Technology [1]
In early 2011, Brad Ratcliff, the former dean of West Adams, was arrested and pled guilty for possession of child pornography. [1]
Several episodes of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution are centered around West Adams, with Oliver attempting to influence the food options available to the students. [1]
