School Overview

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.
