Summary

Santana High (Continuation) is a small, specialized public high school serving 89 students in grades 9-12 within the Rowland Unified School District, designed for students who have struggled in traditional high school settings.

The school faces significant challenges, most notably a chronic absenteeism rate of 71.9%, which is dramatically higher than nearby traditional high schools like John A. Rowland High and far exceeds district and state averages. Academically, proficiency rates are very low, especially in mathematics where only 3.64% of students are proficient, compared to a 35.8% district average. Despite these struggles, the school operates with a very low student-teacher ratio and receives exceptionally high per-student funding—over $48,000 per pupil—which is more than triple the spending at many surrounding comprehensive high schools.

Recent data shows a promising improvement in the graduation rate, reaching 80.5% for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance is similar to other continuation schools in the area, such as Coronado High (Continuation) and Ron Hockwalt Academies (Continuation), which also show high absenteeism and lower academic performance despite dedicated resources, indicating these are systemic challenges for this type of alternative education setting.
