Summary

Monterey High (Continuation) is a small, specialized high school within the Burbank Unified district, serving 91 students in grades 9-12 at its shared campus on Monterey Avenue, designed for students who have faced significant challenges in traditional school settings.

This school presents a unique profile: while its academic proficiency rates on state tests are very low, it achieves an exceptional 98.4% graduation rate, which is higher than both the district and state averages. This highlights its core mission of helping students recover credits and earn a diploma. However, the school faces a severe challenge with chronic absenteeism, at 66.2%, which is more than triple the rate of nearby comprehensive high schools like Burbank High and Burroughs High. To support its students, the school operates with a very low student-teacher ratio of 11.2 and higher per-student spending compared to other schools in the area.

When compared to other alternative programs, Monterey High performs similarly in academics to Amelia Earhart Continuation in Los Angeles Unified, but with a higher graduation rate. It shares its campus with two other Burbank Unified programs, Burbank Unified Independent Learning Academy (BUILA) and Magnolia Park, indicating a district hub for non-traditional education. The data shows the school is effective at its primary goal of graduation but must address attendance to improve overall student outcomes.
