Summary
Jane Addams Continuation in Granada Hills, California, is a small Los Angeles Unified high school serving grades 9–12, with 90 students. Its results present a mixed picture: math is near the average for nearby district schools, but attendance and graduation remain serious concerns. In 2025–26, 68% of students were chronically absent, compared with 23% districtwide and 18% statewide; only two nearby district schools had higher rates. This exceptionally high absenteeism is the most important concern for families.
Academically, math is the school’s strongest result relative to nearby peers: 21% of students were proficient, close to the nearby-school average of 21.4% (Jane Addams was 21.4%, compared with 21.3% for the average). It was fifth among the nine schools, including Jane Addams, while ELA ranked seventh and science last. Still, all three subjects were below district and state rates: math was 21% versus 40% districtwide and 38% statewide; ELA was 21% versus 48% and 49%; and science was 0% versus 32% and 36%. Graduation and dropout outcomes were also weaker than local and broader comparisons: the graduation rate was 73%, 17 points below the district and 15 below the state, and lower than every nearby peer with a reported rate. Dropout was 19%, above the district’s 6%, the state’s 8%, and every nearby school’s rate.
Results have improved in some areas. Graduation rose 23 points from 2022–23 to 2025–26, and chronic absenteeism fell 20 points from 2021–22, though it remains high. ELA and math proficiency also increased over that period, while science fell by 3 points overall. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 22nd statewide percentile with 1 star in 2025–26, up from the 7th percentile the year before. Its 17.5 student-teacher ratio is near the middle of the local range. In 2024–25, 89% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, similar to Arleta High. One subgroup ranking stands out: SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for how well the school serves English Language Learner students fell from 19 in 2021–22 to 2 in 2023–24, while its overall percentile changed little over those years.
