Summary

Amelia Earhart Continuation is a small Los Angeles Unified high school in North Hollywood, serving grades 9–12 with 69 students. In 2025–2026, proficiency was low across all tested subjects: 8% in English language arts (ELA), 17% in math and 3% in science. Graduation was 77%, below the district’s 90% and California’s 88%. The most urgent concern is chronic absenteeism: 55% of students were chronically absent, 32 percentage points above the district and 37 points above the state.

ELA is the clearest academic weakness, while math is the relative bright spot. Amelia Earhart’s ELA proficiency was 8%, compared with 48% in Los Angeles Unified and 49% statewide; it was also the lowest among nearby high schools serving the same grades, whose reported average was 38%. Science proficiency was 3%, compared with 32% in the district and 36% statewide; 11th-grade science was 0%, versus 33% in the district and 38% statewide. Math proficiency reached 17%—still below the district’s 40% and the state’s 38%, but above the nearby-school average of 14%.

Results have improved in some areas, but the overall picture remains challenging. Math rose from 0% in each of the two preceding years to 17% in 2025–2026, while chronic absenteeism fell from 93% in 2022–2023 to 55%; ELA has not shown sustained improvement, and science remains near zero. SchoolDigger ranked the school in the 19th percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026, up from the 7th percentile and 0 stars the year before, though it ranked seventh among nine nearby schools with a ranking. The 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 22.6, the second-highest among nearby schools with reported ratios. In 2024–2025, 97% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible.
