SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 2,162 California High Schools

Better than 7% of California high schools

Summary

Mission Continuation is a small, alternative high school serving 127 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 challenges, particularly with an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 79%, which is three to four times worse than nearby schools like Sylmar Biotech Health and Engineering Magnet or Cesar E. Chavez Learning Acads-Arts/Theatre/Entertain Mag. This directly impacts academic performance, with proficiency rates in core subjects like math and science at 0%, placing the school in the bottom 7% statewide—a stark contrast to other local schools that rank significantly higher.

Despite these academic struggles, Mission Continuation successfully fulfills its core mission as a safety net, achieving an 89.2% graduation rate that exceeds district and state averages. The school receives substantial funding per student, more than many neighboring schools, highlighting its role in supporting a highly vulnerable student population to complete their education through alternative pathways, even if traditional academic metrics remain low.
