Summary

Robert H. Lewis Continuation is a very small continuation high school in Sun Valley, CA, serving 74 students in grades 9-12 within the Los Angeles Unified district, designed for students who have faced significant challenges in traditional school settings.

The school faces profound difficulties, with academic proficiency in English and math below 6%, a catastrophic chronic absenteeism rate of over 82%, and a graduation rate of 61.2%, all of which are dramatically lower than district and state averages. These outcomes persist despite the school spending over $32,000 per student, which is substantially more than nearby comprehensive high schools like Arleta High or John H. Francis Polytechnic. The school's statewide ranking is in the 3rd percentile, indicating it performs worse than 97% of California schools.

When compared to other local schools serving similar at-risk populations, the challenges are stark. For instance, another continuation school, Cal Burke High, shows higher academic proficiency and graduation rates. Furthermore, nearby charter schools such as Alliance Marine - Innovation and Technology 6-12 Complex achieve much stronger results with similar student demographics and lower per-student spending, highlighting different potential approaches for supporting struggling students. The extreme absenteeism suggests non-academic barriers are a primary obstacle to student success at Robert H. Lewis.
