Summary

Panorama High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 to about 1,300 students in the Los Angeles Unified district, located in a community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school faces significant challenges, particularly with very low math proficiency and high chronic absenteeism. Only about 15% of students are proficient in math, which is the lowest rate among nearby comprehensive high schools like Van Nuys Senior High and John H. Francis Polytechnic. Furthermore, 40% of students are chronically absent, a rate much higher than most neighboring schools. Despite these struggles, the school maintains a strong 89% graduation rate, though this creates a concern that students may graduate without mastering core academic content.

There are notable bright spots, including dramatic recent improvements in supporting Panorama High's Special Education and English Learner students, whose performance now ranks well above average. The school also spends more per student than most area schools, indicating resources are available. The key task is to apply the successful strategies from these specific programs to help all students, especially in closing the large gap in math and science achievement.
