Owensmouth Continuation is a public high school located in Canoga Park, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 74 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.

Owensmouth Continuation has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of California high schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 2060 out of 2,323 schools for the 2023-2024 school year. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating poor overall performance. This is largely due to the school's low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and extremely high chronic absenteeism, which are all significantly worse than state and district averages. Additionally, Owensmouth Continuation students perform poorly on standardized tests, with only 8.7% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 0% proficient or better in Mathematics.

Interestingly, Owensmouth Continuation's performance is generally on par with other continuation high schools in the area, such as Henry David Thoreau Continuation and William Tell Aggeler Opportunity High, which also struggle with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and poor academic achievement. In contrast, nearby charter high schools, such as Taft Charter High and Grover Cleveland Charter High, significantly outperform Owensmouth Continuation and the district averages across various metrics, including graduation rates, test scores, 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.
