We’re proud to announce that Linda Marquez High School – School of Social Justice (SSJ) has been named to the U.S. News & World Report Best High Schools list for 2025-2026!
Having earned this distinction last year as well, SSJ continues to prove that our students and staff are setting a high standard for academic success. Schools on the list are recognized for their strong performance in college readiness, challenging coursework, state assessments, and graduation rates.
This recognition tells a powerful story: SSJ is not defined by outdated labels or stereotypes. It’s defined by the hard work of students who aim higher every day, teachers who push for excellence, and families who believe in the promise of education.
SSJ is a place where excellence, equity, and opportunity come together—right here in our community.
