Summary

Culver City High is a large, comprehensive public high school serving approximately 2,000 students in grades 9-12 within the consistently high-performing Culver City Unified School District.

The school is a model of stability and strong outcomes, boasting an exceptional 97% graduation rate and a dramatic post-pandemic improvement in student attendance, now down to just 12.5% chronic absenteeism. Its performance in English Language Arts is notably strong, significantly outpacing both the state average and most nearby comprehensive high schools like Venice Senior High and Alexander Hamilton Senior High. While it performs comparably to the selective Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies in some areas, Culver City High achieves its results with greater consistency year-over-year and serves a broader student population.

An area for potential growth is mathematics, where proficiency, though above the state average, lags behind the district's own high standard. The school also effectively supports students with special education needs. It is important to note that the nearby Culver Park High serves a specialized at-risk population, which explains its vastly different performance metrics despite being in the same district. Overall, Culver City High delivers reliable, high-quality education with standout strengths in graduation, attendance, and English.
