Eagle Rock is a neighborhood in northeastern Los Angeles, California. It is bordered by the city of Glendale on the north and west, Highland Park on the south, and the city of Pasadena on the east. Major thoroughfares include Eagle Rock Boulevard, Colorado Boulevard, and Figueroa Street. The Glendale and Ventura freeways run along the district’s western and northern edges, respectively. A massive boulder at the district’s northern edge contains an indentation which casts a vaguely bird-shaped shadow on the rock at certain times of day; the neighborhood derives its name from this geological feature.
Eagle Rock is the site of Occidental College, which relocated there after a fire destroyed its original campus in Highland Park. In addition, Eagle Rock Jr/Sr High School is one of the higher ranking LAUSD schools. In 2006, Eagle Rock High School was ranked in the top 400 high schools in the United States.
