Welcome to Echo Park
No School - Friday April 25th - Teacher Data Day
Echo Park has been named a Top Magnet School of Excellence by Magnet Schools of America!
This is such a remarkable achievement and a testament to the hard work and dedication of the students, staff, and the entire school community. A Top Magnet School of Excellence is the top merit award given to only a select number of magnet schools. In past years, as few as 24 schools across the nation have been recognized as Top Magnet Schools of Excellence. So not only did we receive the top merit award, but within those schools, we were in the highest tier of schools who earned the "Top" designation!
This honor builds on the success of previous awards, like the Magnet School of Distinction titles in 2018, 2023, and 2024, and demonstrates our continued commitment to excellence.
