Bell High School

Bell High School

Located in the Southeastern section of Los Angeles County, Bell High School is a multi-track Year Round comprehensive high school (grades 9-12) serving 4,375 (2006 - 2007) students from the tri-communities of Bell, Cudahy, and Maywood. One of six high schools in Local District 6, and one of forty-nine comprehensive high schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District, Bell High School opened its doors in 1925 for 800 students.

It has faithfully served the community through dramatic historical, social and technological periods of transition, and now faces even newer challenges of educating its increasing student population on the 1925 original school ground acreage. Although there the school population is 89% Hispanic, there is a growing number of Arabs in the area (about 5,000 families).

The Arabic language was introduced to the school in the academic year 2008-2009 with the purpose of enriching Foreign Language skills for students, fulfilling school requirement A-G, and closing the gap between the Hispanic and Arabic population in the school.
