History
The school opened its doors on September 12, 1927.[2] It was replaced by a new building in 1970.
It was in the Los Angeles City High School District until 1961, when it merged into LAUSD.[3]
Eagle Rock was relieved of overcrowding when Central Region High School 13, also known as Taylor Yard and then as Sonia M. Sotomayor Learning Academies opened in 2011.[4]
