A Snapshot of James A. Garfield High School, Los Angeles Unified School District

This document highlights the experience of James A. Garfield High School, in LAUSD, a school that dramatically reduced suspensions and expulsions by implementing a comprehensive set of strategies focused on helping each student succeed. The document was developed with funding from The California Endowment, a private statewide foundation dedicated to expanding access to affordable, quality health care to underserved communities and improving the overall health of all Californians. Through its 10-year Building Healthy Communities (BHC) initiative, the foundation is helping 14 California communities develop environments where kids and youth are healthy, safe, and ready to learn.
