Summary

American Legion High (Continuation) is a Sacramento school serving grades 9–12, with 163 students in Sacramento City Unified. Its latest test results show low proficiency across all three subjects: 12% in English language arts (ELA), 3% in math, and 7% in science in 2025–26. Chronic absenteeism was also exceptionally high at 81%, compared with 27% in the district and 18% statewide. The central concern is that low test proficiency is paired with very high absenteeism.

The school had the lowest all-grades proficiency among nine nearby schools with 2025–26 results in each subject. Its ELA result was 29 percentage points below the district and 37 below the state; math was 29 points below the district and 35 below the state; and science was 23 points below the district and 29 below the state. Nearby-school averages were 42% in ELA, 20% in math, and 31% in science. Science is its strongest subject relative to district and state results because the gaps are smallest; ELA is weakest. Absenteeism was higher than at every nearby school with a reported rate, including SAVA, the next highest at 68%. Graduation was 71%, below the district’s 88% and state’s 88%, while dropout was 18%, above both.

Results have improved from 2022–23, but not steadily: ELA rose from 7% to 12%, math from 2% to 3%, and science from 5% to 7% by 2025–26. Only the ELA gap with the state narrowed over that period; math and science gaps widened. SchoolDigger ranked the school 1,848th of 2,137 California schools in 2025–26, at the 14th percentile with one star. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 10.3, the lowest among nearby schools with reported ratios. In 2024–25, 78% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves English Language Learner Students was at the 61st percentile in 2023–24, up from the 4th percentile in 2021–22; its overall percentile in 2023–24 was 21. For African American Students, the school’s percentile fell from 39 in 2023–24 to 12 in 2025–26, compared with overall school percentiles of 21 and 14 in those years.
