JANE ADDAMS CONTINUATION

Jane Addams Continuation is a Title I public high school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Granada Hills, CA with about 113 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 6 teachers, Jane Addams Continuation has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. 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.

Jane Addams Continuation High School, located in Granada Hills, is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). As a "continuation" school, its primary mission is to serve students who are at risk of not graduating, often due to credit deficiencies, personal challenges, or the need for a more flexible, individualized learning environment. The school provides a smaller, more supportive setting compared to a traditional comprehensive high school, allowing students to work at their own pace to recover credits and complete the requirements necessary for a high school diploma.

Beyond academics, the school focuses on the social-emotional well-being of its students, offering smaller class sizes and personalized attention from teachers and counselors. By fostering a more intimate campus culture, Jane Addams aims to re-engage students in their education, build self-confidence, and provide them with a clear pathway toward graduation and post-secondary success. It serves as a vital alternative for students who require a different approach to thrive academically and personally.
