She will likely have to go to her neighborhood school, it's tough to get permits into the top schools in the LAUSD, because lots of families in those neighborhoods have taken their kids out of private school and put them into public school, so they are filled to capacity. It's even harder to get permits to good schools in other districts, and LAUSD doesn't like to release their students because it means less money for them. There are some public charter and magnet schools, but it's not a sure thing that she'll get in. You can look up the ratings of public schools on the websites below. But some schools that have a wider range of students (so a mix of standardized test scores), or small schools within the school, can be quite good even if their rating is on the low side. Public School Ratings: http://www.greatschools.org/ http://www.schooldigger.com/ Unfortunately, even the top public schools (and I don't mean LAUSD, but better public schools like San Marino, La Canada, South Pasadena) really can't compare to the local private schools, especially the top private schools. So it will be an adjustment for her. If they have summer school (they may not), that would be a good way to get her acclimated to the change. Are you going to apply to private school and see about financial aid? There is more aid available in high school than in K - 8. You never know, it's worth filling out an application. (I'm surprised at some of the people who get aid, especially if the school wants the student, the financial cut off seems to be higher than one would expect.) Generally, only one or two administrators at the school are aware of who is receiving aid, and it some local schools it's up to 25% of the students are receiving some amount of aid. (Often the kids mention it to their friends, no one thinks it's a big deal, it's not shameful.) The Catholic schools in LA tend to be about half the tuition of the private prep schools, and some of them are very open to non-Catholic students, they may have 30% or more.

Type in your zip code, and it will show you the nearest public schools. LAUSD schools aren't very good, so if you can afford it, I'd enroll your child in a private school. http://notebook.lausd.net/schoolsearch/selector.jsp

There are several school districts in LA county, LAUSD being the largest. Santa Monica, Pasadena, Glendale, Beverly Hills and South Pasadena have their own districts, just to name a few. If you are in the LAUSD, look into magnet schools. They actually give kids a better education, much like a private school. LAUSD schools aren't bad if they are in an affluent area of the city.

The impact of the culture of the students, is that the students vary widely in their SES's (socio-economic statuses). That means, there are some really rich kids, some kids in the middle, and some really poor kids. Also, it's a huge school district, so the fact that it has so many cultures (ethnic groups of students) in it means the teachers have to teach kids who speak lots of different languages, which makes teaching them very much harder.

Why can't she just go to her local high school? School will be over for the summer long before the baby is born. If there is some reason she can't go there, she should still check with the local school. They can refer her to an alternative school, or a GED program.


2
She should go to the school district and ask to be placed in the local high school. Any school will accept a pregnant student-- the question is figuring out which school a person living at her address is supposed to go to. (That's the school that will provide free transportation; she's free to go to any public school she wants, I think, but only one of them will provide her with a schoolbus.)


3
If she is considering giving the baby up for adoption (and I hope so) then the adoption facility may be able to help her complete school.


4
What about some kind of a homeschooling program?


5
It seems to me she should be able to finish HS at the school she attends now. I dont think they can kick you out for being pregnant.

Here are some good links to check out to start looking for California schools that specialize in EMT Training. These are schools across the country narrowed down by program, state, city, zip, whatever you would like. It is pretty helpful! Take a look at some of these schools and see what you like. Technical schools are good because you learn exactly what you need to know and not stuff that you will ever use like at universities. You become an expert in your field. You will realize that your training will put you ahead of others interested in the same field. Good luck!!
