The school, which serves grades 9 through 12, is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District. Belmont High School was once the largest public school in the city of Los Angeles and the largest school in California, due to the density of the Westlake district, which it served. It was also considered the largest school in the United States, with 6,342 students. What was formally the attendance area for Belmont High School has now become the Belmont Zone of Choice, where students living in this area have the option of attending one of nineteen small learning communities or pilot schools located on four different campuses within the zone: Belmont High School, Miguel Contreras Learning Complex, Edward Roybal Learning Center, and Central LA High School #9 for Performing and Visual Arts. Belmont's school colors are green and black, and the school mascot is the Sentinel. |
