MONTEREY CONTINUATION

Monterey Continuation is a Title I public high school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Los Angeles, CA with about 62 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 3 teachers, Monterey Continuation has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. 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.

Monterey Continuation High School, located on South Fraser Street in Los Angeles, is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). As a continuation school, it is specifically designed to provide an alternative educational path for students who are at risk of not graduating, often due to credit deficiencies, life circumstances, or a need for a more flexible, personalized learning environment. The school focuses on credit recovery, helping students get back on track to earn their high school diplomas in a setting that is typically smaller and more intimate than a traditional comprehensive high school.

By offering a specialized curriculum and increased individualized attention, Monterey Continuation aims to re-engage students who may have struggled in larger school settings. The program emphasizes self-paced learning, vocational readiness, and social-emotional support to help students overcome academic obstacles. Ultimately, the school serves as a crucial resource for students within the East Los Angeles community, providing the necessary guidance and structure for them to complete their secondary education and prepare for future post-secondary goals or career opportunities.
