Summary

Arleta High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 to about 1,038 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, known for its exceptionally high graduation rate of 96% despite facing significant academic challenges.

The school's performance presents a notable paradox: while nearly all students graduate, proficiency in core subjects like math (10%) and English (37%) is well below state averages. This graduation-success contrast is sharper than at some neighboring schools; for instance, San Fernando Senior High has a slightly lower graduation rate but higher academic scores, while the charter school Valor Academy High achieves both high graduation and strong academic proficiency with a similar student population. Arleta High does excel in keeping students in school, with a chronic absenteeism rate lower than many area schools like James Monroe High, and shows particular strength in supporting English Language Learners.

Important areas for attention include a large performance gap between male and female students and significant struggles in serving Special Education students. When compared to nearby continuation schools like Robert H. Lewis Continuation, Arleta's outcomes are stronger, but its statewide ranking has declined over the past decade. For parents, the key takeaway is a school that successfully guides students to graduation but where ensuring college-ready academic skills requires close attention and support.
