Summary

Jordan High is a large public high school serving grades 9-12 to approximately 2,272 students in an urban area of Long Beach Unified, with a significant portion of its families facing economic need.

Academically, the school faces considerable challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science that are notably lower than those at nearby comprehensive high schools like Paramount High, Compton High, and Odyssey STEM Academy. However, it performs significantly better than local alternative schools such as Somerset High and Buena Vista High. A key positive trend is a much-improved graduation rate of 87.2%, which is competitive with the district and state averages, suggesting the school has effective programs to help students complete their diplomas.

Recent years show promising improvements in areas like chronic absenteeism and dropout rates, indicating a focus on student engagement. While per-student spending is comparable to other schools, academic results lag, pointing to factors beyond just funding. For parents, Jordan High presents a complex picture: a school making clear strides in keeping students enrolled and graduating them, but one where core academic achievement continues to be a primary area for growth compared to its peers.
