Contents

All residents are zoned to Bell High School in Bell and Huntington Park High School in Huntington Park may apply to Maywood Academy High School; Maywood Academy, which opened in 2005 and moved into its permanent campus in 2006, does not have its own attendance boundary because it lacks American football, track and field, and tennis facilities. [2] Several municipalities are in the service zone of MAHS. [2]

Areas within the service zone include the City of Maywood, [3] the City of Bell, [4] the City of Cudahy, [5] the City of Huntington Park, [6] portions of Vernon, [7] and most of the Walnut Park census-designated place. [8]

Academies

The high school previously offered four Small Learning Communities (SLCs) for approximately 200 students, specializing in: Architecture/Design, Performing Arts, Radio Production, and Information/ Technology. In 2010, as part of the Public School Choice Process, the students, staff and parents elected to move from four SLCs to three: School of Liberal Arts (SoLA), School of Science, and School of Business and Technology. The course offerings from the previous SLCs will be liquidated into the three improved SLCs. The concept of Small Learning Communities is to create opportunities for individualized learning experiences in collaboration between teachers, students and parents.

By 2019 the school was no longer following the SLC model and there are no Academies. All students have equal access to all classes offered by the school.

In January 2024 Intuit Inc. donated a brand new food truck to the school's Culinary Arts program. [9] The students developed a business plan involving market research and designed and named the truck, "Nighthawk Cravings" (the school's mascot is a Nighthawk). This student-run food truck will provide students with the opportunity to develop technical, financial, and entrepreneurial skills in a real-world setting. The two-year Culinary Arts program is run through LAUSD's CTE-Linked Learning program, and students earn both a California Food Handler Card and Food Safety Manager Certification.
