The Los Angeles Adult School is huge in both numbers and accomplishments. Around the state, other schools have looked to it as an example of how educate a large number of adult students creatively, efficiently, and well. 300,000 students have gained new vocational skills, earned GED and high school diplomas, improved their English skills or become US citizens. That's 300,000 people better able to parent, work, neighbor, make smart decisions about community matters, and commuicate in school, job, court, neighborhood, retail, traffic, and worship settings.
