11th-12th graders who took 1+ college admissions test

Source: federal Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC 2020-21). Volume — not score — is what's reported here. A higher count means more students at this school are entering the college admissions pipeline. Note: 2020-21 was COVID-disrupted; some districts (especially those that stayed remote longer) report unusually low or zero takers.

Chronic absenteeism — 2024-25

Share of students missing 10% or more of expected attendance — the leading indicator that often precedes the demand decline shown above. Families disengaging tend to raise absenteeism first, then formally leave. Basis: total enrollment.

Kids show up: 4% are chronically absent versus about 21% statewide — engagement most schools would envy.
Chronic absent
4.1%
34 of 821 students

Low and stable absenteeism — students are engaged and showing up. The leading indicator is healthy.

Enrollment stability & demand — 2024-25

Two complementary signals: retention (do students stay once enrolled?) and demand (are families choosing the school?). Read against the Los Angeles County baseline — the demographic tide is moving every CA HS, so a school's gap vs. county is the actionable signal.

Families don't leave: 97% of students who start the year finish it here — top-tier retention statewide.
Stability rate
96.9%
801 of 827 students

26 of 827 students who enrolled at Emblem Academy this year didn't maintain continuous enrollment (3.1% non-stability). Mid-year transfers, dropouts, and other exits are all counted.

Los Angeles County median
89.2% · school is in the 94th percentile of 700 HS
Statewide median

Source: California Department of Education, Stability Rate 2024-25. Benchmarks limited to non-virtual public & charter HS with ≥100 cumulative enrollees so by-design-high-churn continuation schools don't dominate the bottom of the distribution. Cumulative enrollment counts every student on the rolls during the year, so it can exceed peak-day enrollment.
