Summary:

The Norwalk-La Mirada Unified district operates four high schools serving grades 9-12, with a mix of traditional comprehensive and specialized continuation programs in the southeastern Los Angeles County area.

La Mirada High stands out as the district's top performer, boasting the highest state ranking, graduation rate, and test scores, particularly in math and science. Norwalk High also demonstrates strong results with high graduation and English proficiency rates. John H. Glenn High has shown notable recent improvement in its statewide rank, while El Camino High (Continuation) serves a unique at-risk population with significantly different academic outcomes and challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism.

Overall, the district's high schools graduate students at a rate well above the state average. A key area for attention is mathematics, where only La Mirada High exceeds state averages, indicating a potential district-wide focus area. The analysis also reveals a complex relationship between resources and results, as the school with the highest per-student spending does not have the highest academic performance, suggesting factors beyond funding influence student success.
