Patricia Dreizler Continuation High

Summary:

Patricia Dreizler Continuation High is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Redondo Beach, California, part of the Redondo Beach Unified School District. While the district is highly ranked, this continuation high school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high dropout rates, and a student population that is more economically disadvantaged and diverse compared to nearby traditional high schools.

Patricia Dreizler Continuation High consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of California high schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 30% of students were proficient in ELA and 5% in Math, compared to the district's 79.47% and 54.72% respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from 61.1% to 91.7%, and its dropout rate has been high, ranging from 8.3% to 38.9% over the past five years, much higher than the nearby South High, North High, and Redondo Union High schools.

The unique challenges faced by Patricia Dreizler Continuation High may be attributed to its small student population, the continuation high school designation, and the higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students it serves compared to the nearby traditional high schools. While the school's performance is concerning, the data suggests that targeted interventions and support could help improve student outcomes and better prepare them for success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
