Summary

Simon Rodia Continuation is a small Los Angeles Unified high school in South Gate, serving grades 9–12, with 89 students. Its most serious concern is academic performance: in 2025–26, 0% of students were proficient in English language arts, math, or science.

There is no clear academic strength compared with nearby schools, the district, or the state. The school’s 0% proficiency rates were below state rates of 49% in English, 38% in math, and 36% in science, and below Los Angeles Unified rates of 48%, 40%, and 32%, respectively. Among same-district schools with reported results, nearby averages were 42% in English, 22% in math, and 26% in science. In math, Simon Rodia tied Odyssey Continuation at 0%; in English and science, it was below every peer with a reported score. Completion and attendance are also concerns: graduation was 51%, compared with 90% in the district and 88% statewide, while chronic absenteeism was 67%, versus 23% and 18%.

Test results show little sustained progress: math remained at 0% across four years, English returned to 0% after reaching 20%, and science fell from 4% to 0%. Over the same period, the state proficiency gap widened by 3 points in English, 4 in math, and 10 in science. Graduation fell 11 points from 2021–22 to 2025–26, although chronic absenteeism and dropout rates improved by 8 and 9 points; both remain high. SchoolDigger ranked Simon Rodia 2,078th of 2,137 California schools, at the 3rd percentile with 0 stars in 2025–26; Odyssey Continuation had the same percentile and star rating. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 13.6, the third-lowest among the 11 comparison schools, and 97.8% of students were reported as free/reduced-lunch eligible. These are important context figures, not explanations for the results.
