Robert H. Lewis Continuation

Summary:

Robert H. Lewis Continuation is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Sun Valley, California, part of the Los Angeles Unified School District. However, the school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-15% of California high schools with very low academic performance, graduation rates, and high dropout and chronic absenteeism rates.

Robert H. Lewis Continuation has struggled with extremely low academic achievement, with proficiency rates on standardized tests well below state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 8.33% of 11th-grade students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 55.73% statewide. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from just 6.7% to 53.5% over the past five years, significantly lower than nearby schools like Panorama High, Arleta High, and John H. Francis Polytechnic. Correspondingly, the school has had high dropout rates, ranging from 15.6% to 30.0% in recent years.

The challenges faced by Robert H. Lewis Continuation are likely exacerbated by the high levels of poverty and economic disadvantage among its student population, with 94.59% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. To improve student outcomes, the Los Angeles Unified School District and school leadership will need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address the root causes of the low academic achievement, high dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism.

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.
