Plan your next step
What should I do next?
Worth a school visit
Ask what the school is working on next. Strong numbers tell you where a school is, not where it's going.
- Ask how the school follows up when a student starts missing days — chronic absence often starts outside the classroom, not inside it.
- Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
- Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
- Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
- Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is San Antonio Continuation a good high school?
San Antonio Continuation has a Scope Score of 29 out of 100, placing it in the 76th percentile of California continuation high schools and ranked #82 in that group. This is a rank inside that group, not a statewide one: SchoolScope compares continuation high schools with one another rather than with California's comprehensive campuses, so it cannot be read against a statewide figure. Why these schools are ranked separately. 2.4% of students exceeded the state standard on the 2025 CAASPP assessment, which is 17.4 percentage points below the California average of 19.8%. The Scope Score weights 7 dimensions for high schools: graduation rate (25%), exceeded standard (22%), college/career readiness (20%), met or exceeded (proficient) (18%), chronic absenteeism (5%), suspension rate (5%), and ELPAC English Learner proficiency (5%). Data source: California Department of Education CAASPP 2025, analyzed by SchoolScope.
What are San Antonio Continuation's CAASPP test scores?
On the 2025 CAASPP Smarter Balanced Assessment, 11.9% of students at San Antonio Continuation met or exceeded the state standard in ELA and Math combined, and 2.4% exceeded it. The gap between those numbers matters: 9.5% of students are at the proficiency floor, while 2.4% went beyond it. Most rating sites report only the combined "proficient" number. SchoolScope surfaces the exceeded-vs-met split because it shows how many students go beyond the standard rather than only meeting it. 42 student-subject combinations were assessed.
How does San Antonio Continuation rank among California continuation high schools?
San Antonio Continuation ranks #82 among California continuation high schools by Scope Score, placing it in the 76th percentile. This is a rank inside that group, not a statewide one: SchoolScope compares continuation high schools with one another rather than with California's comprehensive campuses, so it cannot be read against a statewide figure. Why these schools are ranked separately. This ranking is based on a weighted composite of 2025 CAASPP test performance (exceeded and met rates), chronic absenteeism, and suspension rate. Unlike single-number ratings, the Scope Score shows what drives the ranking so parents can decide what matters most to their family. See full methodology.
What is the attendance and school culture like at San Antonio Continuation?
64.1% of students at San Antonio Continuation are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of school days), compared to the California average of 23.1%. The suspension rate is 1.9%, indicating a low-discipline-incident environment. SchoolScope includes these culture metrics in the Scope Score because they reflect day-to-day school experience in ways test scores alone cannot.
How does San Antonio Continuation compare to other schools in Huntington Park?
San Antonio Continuation scores 29/100 (76th percentile) among California continuation high schools. This is a rank inside that group, not a statewide one: SchoolScope compares continuation high schools with one another rather than with California's comprehensive campuses, so it cannot be read against a statewide figure. Why these schools are ranked separately. To compare with nearby schools, SchoolScope shows the same metrics side by side: exceeded rate, proficiency, growth trajectory, and school culture indicators. The school serves 82 students. Use the schools in Huntington Park page or the map view to compare all high schools nearby.
How does San Antonio Continuation serve low-income and underrepresented students?
At San Antonio Continuation in Huntington Park, 20.0% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 40.9% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. San Antonio Continuation trails its district average for low-income students by 20.9 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (5.0% Math proficient); Hispanic students (20.0% ELA proficient). Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 20 students tested. SchoolScope shows disaggregated test scores by demographic subgroup so you can see how a school performs for your child's specific group — not just the school-wide average. Subgroup data is context, not part of the Scope Score: we don't penalize schools for who they serve. See our equity approach.
