The Golden Valley Unified school district in California is home to two high schools: Liberty High and Independence Continuation High. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and offer distinct educational experiences.
Liberty High is the larger of the two, with 672 students enrolled. It boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 97.2% and a low dropout rate of 0.7%. The school's test scores are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. In contrast, Independence Continuation High is a smaller school with only 43 students, but it has an impressive 100% 4-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate.
While Liberty High serves a more economically diverse population, with a 38.84% free/reduced lunch rate, Independence Continuation High has a much higher free/reduced lunch rate of 81.4%, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among its student population.
