Jane Addams Continuation

Summary:

Jane Addams Continuation is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Granada Hills, California, part of the Los Angeles Unified School District. However, the school has consistently struggled, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of California high schools and receiving low ratings from SchoolDigger.

Jane Addams Continuation has faced significant challenges, including extremely low graduation rates, ranging from just 11.5% to 55.9% over the past few years, and correspondingly high dropout rates, which have reached as high as 32.3%. The school's performance on standardized tests is also dismal, with only 4.35% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 2.22% proficient in Mathematics. Additionally, Jane Addams Continuation has grappled with very high chronic absenteeism, between 75% and 89.7%, nearly double the rates of nearby high schools like James Monroe High, San Fernando Senior High, and John F. Kennedy High.

As a continuation school, Jane Addams Continuation likely serves a population of students who have struggled in traditional high school settings, which may contribute to the school's poor performance metrics. However, the school has not shown meaningful improvement over time, suggesting that it faces systemic challenges that require a more comprehensive approach to address the underlying factors, such as high poverty and chronic absenteeism, that may be impacting student outcomes.

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.
