Summary

Options for Youth San Gabriel is a small, alternative public school serving 244 students in grades 7-12 in its own district, primarily educating students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

This school serves a unique role, with academic performance and graduation rates that are significantly lower than most traditional high schools in the area, such as San Marino High or Gabrielino High. It operates with much less funding per student and shows considerable year-to-year changes in its state ranking. However, it demonstrates notable strengths, particularly with its 7th graders in math and in serving Hispanic and low-income student subgroups effectively compared to other schools with similar challenges.

When compared to other alternative settings like Del Mar High, Options for Youth shows relatively stronger academic results and lower chronic absenteeism. Parents should understand this school's mission is distinct from comprehensive high schools; it provides a critical service for students who may not thrive in a traditional setting, but faces steep challenges with dropout and graduation rates that reflect the significant barriers its student population must overcome.
