Summary

Amelia Earhart Continuation is a very small, specialized public high school in North Hollywood, CA, serving 69 students in grades 9-12 within the Los Angeles Unified district, designed to help students who have struggled in traditional school settings complete their education.

The school's most important job is helping at-risk students graduate, and it does this very well, with a 92.7% graduation rate that exceeds both district and state averages. However, its students face significant challenges, including very high rates of chronic absenteeism, and standardized test scores in core subjects like math and science are extremely low. This creates a clear picture: the school successfully focuses on credit recovery and graduation for its specific student population, even as academic proficiency on state tests remains a major hurdle.

When compared to nearby schools, Amelia Earhart's role is distinct. It has a much smaller, more targeted enrollment than large comprehensive schools like North Hollywood Senior High. Its academic scores are far below those of high-performing magnets like the Science Academy STEM Magnet, but its graduation rate is a strength when compared to other continuation options such as Jack London Continuation. The school spends more per student than many neighbors, which reflects the intensive support its students require, though this has not led to smaller class sizes or higher test scores.
