Summary

Whitcomb Continuation High serves 104 students in grades 9–12 in Glendora, within Glendora Unified. The most pressing concern is that 2025–2026 proficiency was low in every reported subject—14% in English language arts (ELA), 0% in math and 4% in science—while 64% of students were chronically absent, compared with 18% statewide and 9% districtwide.

Whitcomb’s proficiency is well below state and district results: ELA was 14%, versus 49% statewide and 61% in the district; math was 0%, versus 38% and 52%; science was 4%, versus 36% and 40%. Math has the largest gap to both benchmarks. Among nearby continuation schools, Whitcomb leads in ELA, with 14% compared with 3% at Fairvalley High (Continuation) and 5% at Arrow High (Continuation). Its 4% in science is slightly above those two schools’ average, but its 0% in math does not exceed either peer’s result. Graduation is a brighter measure: Whitcomb’s 93% rate is above the state’s 88%, though below the district’s 98%.

Results have not kept pace with rising state scores. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, Whitcomb’s ELA score edged from 13.9% to 14.3%, math stayed at 0%, and science rose from 0% to 4%; state proficiency rose in all three subjects, widening the gaps. SchoolDigger places Whitcomb at the 6th percentile, with 0 stars and a rank of 2,014 out of 2,137 in 2025–2026; its percentile fell from 21 in 2023–2024. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves students with low socioeconomic status also dropped, from the 23rd to the 4th percentile; for Hispanic students, it fell from the 25th to the 8th. Context includes a 10.7 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 44% of students who were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. With 104 students, year-to-year percentages can be volatile.
