The California School Campus Database records South Gate Senior High on this campus too; it gives each school the whole campus, so this drawing doesn’t show which buildings each uses.
Drawn from OpenStreetMap, with building heights from LA County, inside the campus outline from the California School Campus Database (2025). Volunteers map it, so a new building may be missing. Buildings with no mapped height are drawn one storey high.

- Graduated in four years
- 2024–25 · 36 of 73 students who started 9th grade together. California Department of Education, adjusted cohort graduation records. Comparison is SchoolScope’s combination of graduates and cohort counts across the reference schools, not CDE’s published state rate.

About the survey and these figuresWho answers, what we show, and how a theme figure is made
Los Angeles Unified School District, School Experience Survey 2025–26 (researcher file). Students in grades 4–12 take it; some questions go only to older grades.
Los Angeles Unified publishes no minimum number of answers. We show a question only when at least 20 people answered it, and a group only when at least 10% of it responded, so the answers speak for more than the few who chose to reply. Los Angeles Unified’s figures cover all its schools at each level, so they aren’t shown beside this school.
Fewer than 20 people answered each staff question here, so those answers aren’t shown.
Each row shows the percentage its label describes. For a theme, such as one marked “average of 5 questions”, we average the percentages for its questions, the way Los Angeles Unified averages its own topics. Each lane lists every question with its own percentage.

What you can do
Who can act on Odyssey Continuation’s results?
The state has Odyssey Continuation in its most intensive support; Los Angeles Unified’s board decides its plan.
When the plan is set
Los Angeles Unified’s board must adopt its yearly plan (LCAP) by July 1, after at least one public hearing at an earlier meeting.
How to take part
- Watch the board’s agenda: the hearing is posted at least 72 hours ahead.
- Send written comments on the actions and spending the plan proposes.
- Raise questions through the district’s parent advisory committee; the superintendent must answer its comments in writing.
- Read the midyear report, due by February 28.
What has the state flagged?
2025–26 is its 4th year in a row in this support. The state named it for its graduation rate. This support comes with a school improvement plan, which must use approaches with evidence behind them and look at how money and staff are divided among schools. Ask the principal to see the school improvement plan.

Extra state help for the district
The state is giving Los Angeles Unified extra help in 2026. It qualified on the 2025 California School Dashboard. The county office must help the district for at least three years, including a review of its yearly plan.

Odyssey Continuation is ranked only among California continuation high schools, so this table sets it beside no other school; the chapters above compare each figure with that class. School values are from 2024–25. Chronic absence and suspension are CDE's all-students school rates; the score uses an adjusted version of each that pulls small schools toward the average. The weights above add to 95%: English learners reaching the top level of the state’s English test has no value for this school, so its 5% weight is shared out among the measures above.
Scope Score by year2018–19 to 2024–25 · each year’s inputs, and the score for each year we could verify
The 2024–25 Scope Score, in the current-formula row below, uses the state’s college-or-career readiness measure, 2024–25. Earlier scores are shown under the earlier formula. The two formulas differ, so their scores do not form one trend.
Scope Score each year it was calculated
| School year | Scope Score | Percentile | Rank | Comparison group |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018–19 | 12 | 11 | #303 | California continuation high schools · 343 schools · earlier formula |
| 2021–22 | 12 | 10 | #301 | California continuation high schools · 335 schools · earlier formula |
| 2022–23 | 12 | 9 | #314 | California continuation high schools · 346 schools · earlier formula |
| 2023–24 | 11 | 8 | #304 | California continuation high schools · 332 schools · earlier formula |
| 2024–25 | — | 11 | #244 | California continuation high schools · 277 schools · current formula |
Earlier-formula years are retrospective calculations using earlier test results and current school levels and comparison classes. Each year's rank and percentile use that year's measured school group. They do not form a trend across different score formulas.
The earlier high-school formula uses 2024–25 graduation records. Its readiness input uses the 2024–25 AP pathway share among Prepared students when available; otherwise it uses 2024–25 A-G completion. A reported zero remains zero. These inputs do not describe graduation or readiness in the earlier assessment years. The current formula instead uses the state’s college-or-career readiness measure (its overall Prepared rate).
Historical ELPAC inputs are absent from these calculations. Missing factor weights are redistributed proportionally among available factors. Adjusted climate values are SchoolScope scoring inputs, distinct from the state’s reported rates.

AP pathway among CCI Prepared studentsCDE College/Career Indicator · CCI source year 2025 · all students · AP pathway rate 0% · AP-pathway numerator 0 · denominator 3 (CCI Prepared students). This measure uses Prepared students as its denominator, not the whole CCI cohort; it is not an AP exam-taking rate or a count of AP courses offered. That cohort includes all students in the current four-year graduation cohort plus only Prepared fifth-year graduates from the prior cohort. In 2025 the pathway accepts two qualifying AP exams, two qualifying AP courses, or a combination of one of each in different subjects.
CDE's overall Prepared rate is the college-readiness factor in the Scope Score (20% of the high school score). The school rate is 3 of 73 CCI students, not the AP-only pathway or A–G completion rate. The school CCI rate has its own student cohort and source year.

How the California mean was selected
SchoolScope starts with its selected California finance records, not every NCES California district. For FY 2020–21, it calculates an unweighted mean of NCES F-33 current expense per pupil. District records contribute once, regardless of enrollment. The calculation keeps records with positive per-pupil current expense, enrollment over 100, CCD agency type 1, and a recorded district name; it excludes names ending in County Office of Education, Department of Education, or Superintendent of Schools. This is a SchoolScope calculation, not a state-published spending average.

Dollar amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar, so they can differ from the total by a dollar.
