Summary

Henry David Thoreau Continuation is a small high school in Woodland Hills, California, serving grades 9–12 in Los Angeles Unified. Its 44 students make it the smallest nearby school with enrollment data, compared with 77 at Zane Grey Continuation. The most important concern is chronic absenteeism: 76% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, compared with 23% districtwide and 18% statewide; only three nearby schools with reported figures had higher rates.

Science is the school’s strongest subject relative to nearby schools, while math is its weakest against state and district benchmarks. In 2025–2026, 26% of students were proficient or above in science, higher than the nearby-school average of 23%, but below the state’s 36% and the district’s 32%. ELA proficiency was 38%, below the nearby average of 42%, the state’s 49% and the district’s 48%. Math was 19%, compared with a nearby average of 21%, a state rate of 38% and a district rate of 40%. Its math gaps were the largest: 20 points below the state and 21 below the district. The low student-teacher ratio—14.4 in 2024–2025—compares favorably with nearby schools; only Diane S. Leichman Career Preparatory and Transition Center had a lower reported ratio.

Proficiency has improved over the four school years shown: rates rose 17 points in ELA, 15 in math and 21 in science from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, and the gaps with state results narrowed in all three subjects. SchoolDigger ranks the school in the 38th percentile with 2 stars for 2025–2026, up from the 11th percentile in 2021–2022. Its graduation rate rose from 48% in 2023–2024 to 82% in 2025–2026, though the latest figure remains 8 points below the district and 6 below the state. The school reported 77% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for male students rose from the 7th to the 46th percentile, and its ranking for low socioeconomic status students rose from the 12th to the 41st percentile, indicating improved standing for both groups. Because enrollment is small, rates may reflect a limited number of students; 12th-grade science is unknown because the result is shown as “—.”
