ABOUT ALLIANCE COLLEGE-READY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Alliance College-Ready Public Schools (Alliance) was founded on the belief that all young people, regardless of zip code, are capable of achieving at high levels. Alliance is now one of the largest and most successful public charter school networks in the nation, operating 26 high-performing middle and high schools serving 13,000 scholars in systemically oppressed communities across Los Angeles.
Now in its 19th school year, Alliance has a proven record of success. Despite the average scholar arriving at Alliance schools four grade levels behind in reading, 97% of Alliance graduates have been accepted to college, including 85% to a four-year college or university in 2023. Alliance strives to change the trajectories of our scholars and communities, with a goal of 75% of Alliance graduates completing a four-year college degree.
