Summary

Coronado High (Continuation) is a small, alternative public high school serving about 120 students in grades 9-12 within the West Covina Unified district, designed for students who have faced significant challenges in traditional school settings.

The school faces profound challenges, most notably an extremely high rate of chronic student absenteeism at 88.7%, which is many times higher than the district average and even much higher than another local continuation school, Santana High (Continuation). Academic proficiency rates in English, math, and science are also significantly lower than at nearby comprehensive high schools like West Covina High or Mt. SAC Early College Academy. However, the district invests heavily in the school, spending roughly double per student compared to its traditional high schools, which funds a very low student-to-teacher ratio for intensive, personalized support.

Despite the low academic scores, Coronado's core mission shows a key success: its four-year graduation rate of 87.3% is close to the state average and higher than Santana's. This indicates that while students may not be reaching grade-level proficiency, the school is effectively providing an alternative pathway to a diploma for vulnerable youth who had previously disengaged from their education.
