Summary
San Antonio Continuation is a small grades 9–12 high school in Huntington Park, in the Los Angeles area, with 82 students. Its most urgent challenge is keeping students connected to school and on track to graduate: in 2025–26, 78% of students were chronically absent, compared with 23% districtwide and 18% statewide, while the graduation rate was 35%, versus 90% districtwide and 88% statewide.
Test results are also far below nearby schools, the district and the state. In 2025–26, the school’s all-grades proficiency was 24% in ELA, 10% in math and 5% in science—the lowest among the nearby Los Angeles Unified high schools provided for that year in every subject. ELA is the relative strength: its result was 25 points below the state and 25 below the district. Science had the largest gap to the state, at 31 points; math had the largest gap to the district, at 30 points. Even the lowest nearby-school results were higher: 48% in ELA, 12% in math and 18% in science. The school’s 78% chronic absenteeism also exceeded the highest nearby figure provided, 41% at Maywood Academy High.
ELA and math have improved over time, though results remain low: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA rose from 13% to 24% and math from 0% to 10%, narrowing their gaps to the state by 8 and 6 points, respectively. Science rose only from 4% to 5%, and its state gap widened by 5 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking improved from the 7th percentile in 2023–24 to the 18th in 2025–26, with its rating rising from 0 to 1 star, but nearby ranked schools were at the 34th–73rd percentiles. The school’s student-teacher ratio was 13.7 in 2024–25, the lowest among nearby schools with reported ratios. In that same year, 95% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; this is an income measure, not a distinction in meal access. One historical subgroup result stood out: English Language Learner Students ranked at the 71st percentile in 2020–21, compared with the school’s overall 44th percentile that year, indicating a notably stronger SchoolDigger standing for that group. Female Students’ percentile fell from 13 to 2 between 2022–23 and 2023–24, a sharp decline.
