Summary

Will Rogers Continuation is a small Los Angeles Unified high school in Van Nuys, California, serving grades 9–12 with 136 students. Its results show some relative strengths, but the most urgent concern is chronic absenteeism: 89% in 2025–26, compared with 23% in the district and 18% statewide.

Test scores remain well below nearby-school averages, district results and state results. In 2025–26, Will Rogers’ proficiency was 14% in English language arts (ELA), 2% in math and 11% in science; nearby averages were 40%, 14% and 18%, respectively. Science is closest to district and state levels, at 11% compared with 32% and 36%, while math is farthest below, at 2% compared with 40% and 38%. Graduation is also a major concern: the school’s 32% rate was well below the district’s 90% and the state’s 88%. Nearby continuation schools also had low rates, but Cal Burke High was at 67%, while Independence Continuation and Jack London Continuation were both at 53%.

Science proficiency has improved overall, rising from 6% in 2022–23 to 11% in 2025–26; ELA rose from 10% to 14%, while math was roughly flat, moving from 3% to 2%. Graduation increased by 7 percentage points from the prior year, but remains far below district and state rates. SchoolDigger ranked Will Rogers at the 10th percentile, with 1 star, in 2025–26; only two nearby schools with rankings were lower. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 15.1, below the nearby average of 17.0, though that has not coincided with stronger test or attendance results. In 2024–25, 66% of students were directly certified for free meals; the data suggest the school likely provides free meals to all students through Community Eligibility. One notable subgroup shift: SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves Special Education Students fell from the 47th percentile in 2024–25 (overall: 12th) to the 15th percentile in 2025–26 (overall: 10th).
