Summary

Park West High (Continuation) is a small, 225-student public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Pomona Unified district, designed as an alternative for students who have struggled to earn credits in a traditional setting.

The school serves a high-need community and, while it ranks in the bottom quartile of California high schools, it shows clear signs of recent improvement in key areas like graduation rates and chronic absenteeism. However, significant challenges remain: academic proficiency in core subjects is far below district and state averages, and chronic absenteeism, though improving, is more than double the Pomona Unified rate. The school receives substantially more funding per student than other district schools like Pomona High or Diamond Ranch High, and operates with a lower student-teacher ratio to support its students.

Compared to other local schools, Park West's role is unique; its academic results are not directly comparable to comprehensive high schools like Bonita High. It shares similarities with another continuation school, San Antonio High (Continuation) in the higher-performing Claremont Unified district, particularly in facing high absenteeism. The data suggests Park West provides a critical alternative pathway, focusing on helping at-risk students graduate despite facing complex barriers.
