"Welcome To Jane Addams High School!"

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit our website. We appreciate your visit and are pleased to use this medium to keep you current on all Jane Addams High School activities, including upcoming events and various Addams HS and LAUSD publications.  As you navigate through our site you will learn more about our students, teachers and administration.

Located adjacent to John F. Kennedy High School, Jane Addams High School serves students from Granada Hills and the greater Los Angeles area.  We have a diverse student population from 20 different high schools in attendance.  With the smaller population and class size your child will receive the most personal attention possible with an academic program tailored to their personal needs. Our focus on individualized learning, innovative credit recovery programs, character education, and high expectations are what set us apart from traditional comprehensive high schools.  We maintain a structured but relaxed atmosphere where students feel accepted, safe and supported. All of our teachers are fully credentialed and we have a terrific support staff.  We offer an afternoon credit recovery program as well as college courses through L.A. Mission College.  We are accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) through 2022.
