Harris Newmark Continuation

Summary:

Harris Newmark Continuation is a small public high school in Los Angeles, California, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Los Angeles Unified School District. Unfortunately, this school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages across a range of key metrics.

Over the past decade, Harris Newmark Continuation has ranked in the bottom 10-15% of California high schools, maintaining a 1-star or 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's four-year graduation rates have been extremely low, ranging from just 14.8% to 58.5%, and it has struggled with very high dropout rates, ranging from 8.6% to 23.9%. Chronic absenteeism is also a major issue, with rates as high as 86.6%. Academically, the school's performance is abysmal, with only 5% of students proficient in English and Math, and 0-6.25% proficient in Science.

Interestingly, while the nearby schools like Downtown Business High, Belmont Senior High, and the various Contreras Learning Center schools generally outperform Harris Newmark Continuation, the school's homeless students appear to perform relatively better, ranking in the top 30% of California high schools for this subgroup. However, the school's high concentration of economically disadvantaged students, with 94.74% to 96.97% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its overall challenges.

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.
