Our School
T.S. King 6th Grade Welcome from Michael Mayson on Vimeo.
Thomas Starr King Middle School, part of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), is one school with three magnets:
- Environmental STEAM Magnet
- Film and Media Magnet
- Gifted/High Ability Technology & Arts Magnet
King is the highest performing middle school in our region. Our success is attributed to our personalized learning environments, access to technology, parent/community involvement, and high percentage of National Board Certified teachers. As a true magnet program, we are a very diverse campus, with students from all parts of Los Angeles. Between our three magnet programs, we have something to offer every type of learner. Project-based learning and diverse elective offerings keep our students engaged and excited about school.
In 2017 Thomas Starr King was awarded the prestigious Gold Ribbon Award, a state acknowledgment for “excellent teaching, learning, and collaborating, and also highly successful school climate efforts.” And in 2019, King became a WASC-accredited school, a worldwide acknowledgement that “We Are Student-Centered” as we engage in continuous self-improvement.
Producing 21st century scholars doesn’t happen by accident. It takes effort and dedication from everyone – including staff, teachers, parents and community. It takes a village to raise a child and King has the best village in LA!
