The Long Beach Unified School District is a school district headquartered in Long Beach, California, United States.
Established in 1885, Long Beach Unified School District now
educates 81,000 students in 84 public schools in the cities of
Long Beach, Lakewood, Signal Hill, and Avalon on Catalina
Island. The school district is the third largest in California and

The student population is 53.1 percent Hispanic, 15.6 percent
African American, 15.2 percent white, 11.2 percent Asian,
3 percent multi-race, 1.7 percent Pacific Islander and 0.2
percent Native American. More than two-thirds of the student
population come from lower-income households and qualify
for free and reduced price meals. The school district employs
more than 8,000 people, making it the largest employer in
Long Beach.
District awards
LBUSD was the winner of the Third annual $1 million Broad Prize for Urban Education (in 2017). The Broad Prize is the largest education prize in the country awarded to urban school districts. In 2004, LBUSD received a second grant from the Broad Foundation for $1.14 million to continue their efforts to improve the organization of the district's schools using Baldrige strategies. In 2004 the Broad Foundation also awarded 55 Long Beach Unified School District seniors $500,000 in scholarships as Broad Prize Scholars. LBUSD has gone on to receive nominations for the award three more times and once prior to winning (2002, 2006, 2007, 2008).
Unusual schools
Two Harbors Elementary School, at Two Harbors on Catalina Island, is a one-room school. Enrollment, (as of 2005) is 12 students. The district had planned to close the school in fall 2005, but Two Harbors residents and visitors raised enough money to keep the school open.

Hi-Hill Outdoor School (informally known as Camp Hi-Hill), formerly a privately owned resort known as Opid's Camp, is located on 13 acres (53,000 m) of land in Angeles National Forest in a deep canyon below Mount Wilson and permitted to the district by the Forest Service. The camp allowed urban students to experience a week of outdoor education. The first class of sixth graders was on April 19, 1948. More recently, fifth graders traditionally spent a week at Camp Hi-Hill. Unfortunately, due to cost and increasing fire risk, the school district closed the camp in 2008 and it remains vacant as of 2016.
