[edit] History
The school houses three small schools: The School for Social Justice(SJ), The School of Science Math and Related Technologies(SMART), and the School of Visual and Performing Arts(VAPA).
All three small schools utilize block scheduling where students take four 82-minute classes a day. Students finish a year's study in sixteen weeks, thus allowing for enrollment in two additional courses per academic year. Students take four semesters each year instead of two semesters, giving students an opportunity to earn 80 credits a year.
Arleta High School wants graduates to follow its four ESLRs Community Contributors, Effective Communictors, Self-Directed Learners and Critical Thinkers. Students must demonstrate sufficient growth in the ESLRs by presenting a profolio one month before graduation during California Standerized Testing. Portfolios are built during the student's freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior year. Portfolios are presented to a board that consist of an administrator, teacher, and a peer. Futhormore Arleta High Schools seniors must complete College Summit at CSNAV.ORG and become college ready by the time they graduate. Portfolio defense and College Summit is a requirement that must be met in order to graduate on stage.
[edit] Sports
Arleta football team was led by former Sylmar Head Coach Jeff Engilman who lead Arleta to capture a Division 2 city title in 2008 and has back to back league titles until 2011.
