WHITCOMB CONTINUATION HIGH SCHOOL

Whitcomb Continuation High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Glendora Unified school district, located in Glendora, CA with about 59 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 9 teachers, Whitcomb Continuation High has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Whitcomb Continuation High School, located in Glendora, California, serves as the alternative education campus for the Glendora Unified School District.

By focusing on credit recovery and individualized instruction, Whitcomb provides an essential pathway for students to overcome academic challenges and stay on track toward earning their high school diploma.

Beyond its academic mission, Whitcomb emphasizes social-emotional support and character development to foster student success. The school maintains a close-knit community atmosphere where faculty and staff work collaboratively with students to address their unique educational needs and career goals. Through its targeted approach, the institution provides students with the resources, stability, and personalized attention necessary to regain momentum in their education and successfully transition to post-secondary opportunities.
