Zoo Magnet Center

The Zoo Magnet Center is a small high school magnet program in Griffith Park. In partnership with North Hollywood High School and the Los Angeles Zoo, the Zoo Magnet offers 300 LAUSD students from across the city a challenging college preparatory curriculum focused on animal studies and biological sciences.

Our classrooms open out on a living laboratory that includes the L.A. Zoo and Botanical Gardens, L.A. River ecosystem, Autry National Center and the natural world of Griffith Park. The human scale of the Zoo Magnet campus supports an inclusive school community where students and teachers learn together and no one is lost in the crowd.

    Reality Check: the Zoo Magnet is a RIGOROUS college preparatory program with challenging courses and graduation requirements. This is not a petting zoo. All students must complete the University of California A-G coursework in order to graduate. LOOK THEM UP they are demanding. ALL 9th graders take English, Algebra or Math Analysis, Biology and foreign language (Spanish). ALL 10th graders take Algebra 2 (at minimum) and Chemistry. Students who have not MASTERED Algebra will not pass Chemistry let alone Genetics and Vertebrate Physiology.
