Monterey Continuation

Summary:

Monterey Continuation is a public high school located in Los Angeles, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 41 students. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 871 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Monterey Continuation faces significant challenges, with consistently low four-year graduation rates ranging from 5.3% to 61.9% over the past five years, much lower than the state and district averages. The school has also experienced high dropout rates, ranging from 23.8% to 50.0%, and a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 54.9% to 69.3%, more than double the state and district averages. Proficiency rates on standardized tests, such as the Smarter Balanced Assessments and the California Science Assessment (CAST), are also significantly lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2022-2023, only 27.78% of Monterey Continuation students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 41.17% in the district and 46.66% statewide.

When comparing Monterey Continuation to the nearby James A. Garfield Senior High, located just 0.16 miles away, the differences are stark. Garfield Senior High has significantly higher graduation rates (96.1%), lower dropout rates (1.6%), and better test scores than Monterey Continuation. This suggests that Monterey Continuation would benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues that are leading to the poor academic outcomes, such as strategies to improve attendance, provide additional academic and social-emotional support, and engage with the local community to better understand and address the unique needs of the student population.

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.
