We are now a California
​Distinguished School!

This year Baldwin Hills Elementary Pilot School has been recognized as a 2020 California Distinguished School for Closing the Achievement Gap!

Welcome to Our School

Baldwin Hills Elementary Pilot/Gifted High Ability Magnet
​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 Pilot Plan has been approved for 5 more years!

Baldwin Hills is THRIVING!

about the first day of school!
“I’ve taught for 22 years here and as a pilot school, it has felt like a breath of fresh air. We are no longer confined to district mandates and curriculum guides but instead are able to infuse what we are passionate about: social justice.” Several other teachers mirrored those sentiments, sharing that they feel less restricted at our school. Being able to select our own literature and design our own units where we don’t have to “sneak in” different books is liberating, they said. - Letitia Johnson-Davis, EdD, principal
