Mt. Lukens Continuation

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Mt. Lukens Continuation is a small public high school in Tujunga, California, serving grades 9-12 as part of the Los Angeles Unified School District. With only 39 students, the school faces significant challenges in serving its high-needs student population, as evidenced by its consistently low academic performance, high dropout rates, and high chronic absenteeism.

Mt. Lukens Continuation consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of California high schools, with a 1-star or 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students perform significantly below the state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 18.18% of 11th-graders proficient or better in math, compared to 30.5% statewide and 26.36% in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The school also struggles with high dropout rates, ranging from 6.5% to 8.9% in recent years, and low four-year graduation rates between 80.8% and 88.5%.

In comparison, the nearby Verdugo Hills Senior High ranks in the top 25% of California high schools and has much higher test scores, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism. As a continuation high school, Mt. Lukens Continuation faces unique challenges in serving students who have struggled in traditional high school settings, and addressing these issues will likely require a multifaceted approach that goes beyond just funding and resources.
