Summary

Jack London Continuation is a very small, alternative high school serving 62 students in grades 9-12 within the Los Angeles Unified district in Van Nuys, designed to support students who have struggled in traditional high school settings.

The school faces significant challenges, with extremely low academic proficiency, a chronic absenteeism rate of nearly 95%, and a graduation rate of 45.7%, which places it in the bottom 3% of all California high schools. Despite having smaller class sizes and the highest per-student spending among nearby traditional high schools at over $31,000, these resources have not translated into better outcomes for students. Performance is volatile and lags behind other local continuation schools like Amelia Earhart Continuation, which has a 92.7% graduation rate.

The contrast with neighboring schools is stark: Ulysses S. Grant Senior High, located just 0.07 miles away, graduates over 91% of its students, while top-performing magnets like the Science Academy STEM Magnet achieve 100% graduation. This highlights the complex difficulties in serving this vulnerable student population and raises questions about the effectiveness of the current support model at Jack London Continuation.
