About(Alliance(Health(Services(Academy(High(School(!Alliance!Health!Services!Academy!High!School!is!part!of!the!Alliance!College9Ready!Public!Schools!charter!organization.!!Alliance!College9Ready!Public!Schools!is!the!largest!nonprofit!charter!organization!in!Los!Angeles,!comprised!of!21!free,!public!charter!high!schools!and!middle!schools!serving!nearly!9,500!low9income!students.!Alliance!employs!the!highest!achievement!standards!and!latest!innovations!in!technology!to!prepare!our!students!for!success!in!college!and!future!careers.!Since!our!founding!in!2004,!more!than!95%!of!Alliance!graduates!have!gone!on!to!college.!!The mission of Alliance College-Ready Public Schools, a nonprofit charter management organization, is to open and operate a network of small high-performing 9-12 and 6-8 public schools in historically underachieving, low income, communities in California that will annually demonstrate student academic achievement growth and graduate students ready for success in college. Alliance schools significantly outperform traditional public schools in preparing students to enter and succeed in college. Our schools use an educational model based on high expectations of students, small and personalized campuses, a longer school year and a longer instructional day, a team of highly effective teachers and principals, and parents as partners in their child’s educational success. The vision for Alliance schools is that they will consistently demonstrate student readiness for success in college by achieving an annual academic growth rate of 1 to 1.5 years in student results on state academic standards; by increasing student performance on college-readiness indicators including SAT, ACT, and EAP exams; by achieving a 100% success rate on passing high school exit exams; by dramatically reducing dropout rates to 0%, by ensuring that less than 15% of students need remedial English or Math in college. 100% of our middle school students will demonstrate readiness for high school by culminating eighth grade having taken and passed Algebra. The Alliance will expand the choice of excellent schools with a high success rate for parents in Los Angeles to surrounding communities in California whose children attend low-performing schools. !The!enrollment!of!our!students!is!part!of!our!commitment!to!providing!high!quality!education!to!families!living!in!Los!Angeles!County.!!The!chart!indicates!the!total!student!enrollment!and!enrollment!per!grade!level.!!!!!!

((Parent(Involvement((At Alliance Health Services Academy High School, we realize that student success is not only measured through academic achievement, but in ensuring that our students are adequately prepared for the future. Parental support and involvement are key components in students’ academic success that are essential for parents to be fully knowledgeable about preparing their children for college. Parents are partners and are needed to take active and meaningful roles to insure the success of our school. Research shows that parent involvement in children's learning positively impacts student achievement levels. We believe that their participation at our school will really make a difference and will positively impact their child’s academic progress.
