Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet High School is a magnet senior high school in the Los Angeles Unified School District with a focus on serving students who plan to study in the healthcare field. It is located near the Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center.
Awards and recognition
During the 2006-2007 school year, Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet High School was recognized with the Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence by the United States Department of Education,[1][2] the highest award an American school can receive.[3][4]
Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet High School was ranked nationally 352nd in 2008 and 291st in 2007 by Newsweek.[5] U.S. News and World Report named it one of its top 100 public high schools in 2007.[6]
History
Originally, a magnet center was established at nearby Lincoln High School before moving to Wilson High School from 1985 until 1990. Bravo Medical Magnet is named after Francisco Bravo, a well-known physician who practiced in East Los Angeles, established his own clinic, and founded a scholarship fund for needy high school students interested in the health science professions. Groundbreaking on Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet High School started in 1987 and construction was completed in 1990. Dr. Rosa Maria Hernández, who was instrumental in the school's construction, served as principal from the school's opening until 2003 when she became the District F Coordinator. She was then succeeded by Maria Torres-Flores.
Location
Bravo is located in a commercial and residential section of East Los Angeles about 8 minutes from the Los Angeles Civic Center.
Bravo is located adjacent to the USC School of Medicine, the USC School of Pharmacy, the Doheny Eye Hospital, the Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center, the Norris Cancer Hospital, and the USC University Hospital. The school's proximity to USC has enabled partnerships; Bravo was adopted by the Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center in September 1981, shortly after the school opened as a small magnet center on the Lincoln High School campus. The school has agreements with USC Medical Center as well as California State University, Los Angeles in promoting health-related activities and projects.
Magnet Program
Bravo’s medical magnet program was originally part of the school integration program to be accessible to all students in the Los Angeles Unified School District, so the school community has wide geographical boundaries. Thirty buses deliver 85% of Bravo’s 1,726 students, some of whom travel up to an hour to school and are drawn from 32 middle schools. Students apply through the District’s “Choices” program and are selected by the district’s lottery.
Student Body
Bravo served 1,852 students during the 2009-2010 school year. Approximately 40% of the students attending Bravo are from the surrounding community in what now comprises LAUSD Local District 5. The remaining 60% commute from other areas of the Los Angeles Unified School District.
Demographics
Bravo's demographics currently indicate 66% Hispanic students, 17% Asian/Filipino/Pacific Islander, 2% African-American, 14.3% White, and 0.2% American Indian/Alaskan Native. Over the past six years Bravo has maintained a steady total enrollment and has seen a general decline in all ethnic populations except the Hispanic group which has increased 15% (with a corresponding drop in other populations).
Title I Students
For 2006-07, Bravo has approximately 82% (1415 students) of all students that are socioeconomically disadvantaged. About 72% of students’ home language is not English. Bravo High School has a school-wide Title I program and is one of the very few Title I High Schools that has surpassed the 800 API level.
