George S. Patton Continuation

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

George S. Patton Continuation is a small public high school in Harbor City, California, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Los Angeles Unified School District. With just 47 students, the school has consistently struggled academically, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of California high schools over the past several years.

George S. Patton Continuation faces significant challenges, including very low academic performance, poor graduation rates ranging from 33.3% to 64.7%, and high dropout rates as high as 36.8%. The school also experiences extremely high chronic absenteeism, reaching 93.1% in the 2022-2023 school year. Proficiency rates on standardized tests are alarmingly low, with only 16.67% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 0% proficient or better in Mathematics. Over 90% of the school's students come from low-income backgrounds, which likely contributes to these struggles.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Dr. Richard A. Vladovic Harbor Teacher Preparation Academy, Academies of Education and Empowerment at Carson High, and Nathaniel Narbonne Senior High, George S. Patton Continuation stands out as an outlier with significantly lower academic performance, graduation rates, and test scores. As a continuation school, George S. Patton Continuation serves students who have struggled in a traditional high school setting, which likely contributes to the school's challenges. Despite its status, the school has not shown significant improvement in its performance metrics over the past several years, suggesting the need for more comprehensive and effective interventions to support its students.
