About Us

Baldwin Hills Elementary Pilot & Gifted High Ability Magnet School is unique and has a reputation for being a gem among LAUSD schools because of our success educating African-American and Latino children. Though high achieving, we believe there should not be a ceiling on achievement and that we can do more if given the autonomy to make decisions that directly impact the children we know so well and teach. Our aim is to create an academically rigorous, culturally responsive instructional program that can propel students to meet their limitless potentials. To meet this goal, we intend to actively solicit greater parent and community engagement and partnerships by increasing outreach efforts, implementing a STEAM centered curriculum utilizing project and problem-based learning while continuing to affirm who our students are and what they bring through employing culturally and linguistically responsive pedagogical practices, along with increasing staff collaboration around planning, assessment, curriculum and instruction through the establishment of professional learning communities (PLCs).
