Harris Newmark 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 175 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, Harris Newmark Continuation has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1. 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.

Harris Newmark Continuation High School is an alternative educational institution located in the Westlake district of Los Angeles, California. As part of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the school is designed to support students who may be at risk of not graduating, providing a more flexible and personalized learning environment than a traditional comprehensive high school. The program focuses on credit recovery, helping students earn the necessary units to meet graduation requirements and keep their academic progress on track toward a diploma.

The school emphasizes a supportive, small-classroom culture aimed at re-engaging students who have struggled in larger, traditional settings. By offering a smaller student-to-teacher ratio, Harris Newmark focuses on fostering strong relationships, individualized attention, and a self-paced curriculum that allows students to focus on their specific academic needs. The goal of the institution is to provide a path to success for students facing various life challenges, ultimately preparing them for graduation and their post-secondary career or educational endeavors.
