Summary
San Antonio High (Continuation) is a small continuation high school in Claremont, California, serving 69 students in grades 10–12. Its latest figures raise concerns about students staying engaged and completing school: in 2025–26, the graduation rate was 72%, compared with 88% statewide and 97% in Claremont Unified, while the dropout rate was 20%, versus 8% statewide and 1% in the district. The standout concern is chronic absenteeism: at 70%, it was higher than any nearby school in the supplied comparison, and far above the state’s 18% and the district’s 14%.
Science is the school’s strongest tested subject relative to its other results, but proficiency remains well below state, district, and nearby-school levels. In 2025–26, 15% of students were proficient in science—21 percentage points below the state and 38 below the district, and lower than the nearby-school average of 32%. San Antonio ranked fourth-lowest among the 11 schools in science. ELA proficiency was 19%, 30 points below the state and 45 below the district; mathematics was weakest, at 5%, 34 points below the state and 50 below the district. Both subjects were below their nearby-school averages of 53% in ELA and 27% in math, and San Antonio ranked third-lowest in each.
Over the four reported test years, science proficiency rose from 9% to 15%, while ELA fell from 24% to 19%; math rose from 0% to 5% but remains very low. SchoolDigger gives the school an 18th-percentile statewide ranking and one star for 2025–26, the third-lowest percentile among these schools, while the district is at the 78th percentile with four stars. The student–teacher ratio was 12.4 in 2024–25, second-lowest in the comparison; free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 57% that year, the third-lowest share. SchoolDigger’s Female Students percentile, a measure of how well the school serves that group, fell from 25 in 2017–18 to 7 in 2023–24; its overall percentile was 21 in 2023–24. With just 69 students, year-to-year results may be sensitive to small numbers, and the supplied figures do not explain the graduation-rate decline.
