Summary:
The Alliance Tennenbaum Family Technology High District is a unique, single-school district in Los Angeles, California, serving 174 students in grades 9-12 at Alliance Tennenbaum Family Technology High.
This small, technology-focused high school presents a mixed academic picture. While its students outperform the state average in science (34.21% proficient), they lag in English (34.29%) and math (25.71%). However, the school shows a clear positive trend, having improved its statewide ranking from the 38th percentile to the 51st percentile over the last three years. A major strength is its outstanding 93.8% graduation rate, which exceeds the state average, indicating strong success in helping students complete their diplomas.
Notable challenges include a chronic absenteeism rate of 33.3%, which is significantly higher than the state average and may hinder learning. The school operates with considerable resources, spending $22,641 per student and maintaining a low 12-to-1 student-teacher ratio, which suggests a capacity for personalized support. Serving a high-need population, with over 83% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's high graduation rate is a particularly significant accomplishment for the community it serves.
