Summary

Patricia Dreizler Continuation High is a very small public high school in Redondo Beach, CA, serving just 41 students in grades 9-12 within the high-performing Redondo Beach Unified district, with a specific mission to help students who have struggled in traditional school settings.

This school operates very differently from larger comprehensive high schools like Redondo Union High or Mira Costa High. It has an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 8.5-to-1 and spends nearly twice as much per student, allowing for highly individualized support. While its standardized test scores are significantly lower than neighboring schools, it achieves a remarkable 0% chronic absenteeism rate and has maintained strong graduation rates (80-93%) for its at-risk population, which is a key measure of its success.

When compared to other alternative schools in the area, such as R. K. Lloyde High or Centinela Valley Independent Study, Patricia Dreizler often performs better. The school serves as a vital safety net in its district, focusing on re-engagement and graduation for students who need a different path, even if their academic proficiency remains a challenge.
