Availability at a glance
These measures describe coverage, not quality rankings. A published amount may represent a single session, recurring payment, or full course, so Arlo does not compare prices until their billing basis is explicit.

Online-only listings without a neighborhood are excluded.
LA Acting Class Price Index
Prices published by the schools themselves on the 322 current listings that pass Arlo's full listing checks: a clear class name and description, a booking link, a current schedule and a source check within 45 days. The headline count above also includes browsable listings that still miss one of those checks, so it is larger. Arlo compares a price only with others that cover the same thing: a single class, a month of ongoing classes, or a whole term or course. A listing whose price does not say what it covers counts toward price coverage but not toward any median.

About these numbers
Sample sizes. Every price statistic shows n, the number of listings behind it, and how many schools those listings come from. Arlo withholds any statistic built from fewer than 3 listings or from a single school. One school can contribute several listings, so small n values move quickly when a school changes its prices.
Billing basis.The basis comes from the structured price field when the source states it, or from a unit written next to the amount on the school's page, such as "per month" or "for 8 weeks" (0 of 104 comparable prices). Hourly private coaching, "from $X" starting prices, discounts and deposits are left out of every median. Price coverage here counts only usable tuition amounts, so it can be lower than the count of listings with any published amount above. "Session" is never read as a basis, because schools use it for both a single class and a whole term.
Audits and verification. Audit counts reflect what the source says; most listings do not say either way. School-verified means the school claimed its profile and confirms its own listings.
Reuse. The aggregate table is available as a CSV download under CC BY 4.0. It contains aggregates only, never individual listings or personal data.
How Arlo builds this index
Arlo checks schools' public websites and enrollment pages, retains the source evidence behind each listing, and promotes only listings with a usable identity, booking path, current availability, and sufficiently recent source confirmation.
This is a living directory rather than a survey estimate. Counts can rise when classes are newly verified and fall when a schedule expires, a source changes, or evidence no longer supports presenting an offering as current.
