Info
Young Oak Kim Academy (YOKA) is a middle school within the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), Local District 4. It was established in 2009 as the only middle school in the LAUSD to practice single-sex education. The school is named in honor of Colonel Young-Oak Kim, the first Asian-American colonel to lead a U.S. battalion in war. It is L.A.'s first middle school, and the third school overall, named for a Korean American. The building was designed by the architectural firm Arquitectonica adjacent to its Wilshire Vermont Station mixed use transit village development.
