Students must be 16 years of age or older

Students 18-19 years of age may be eligible if they have been continuously enrolled in a District school and have unusual educational needs, such as a limited number of courses to qualify for graduation.

Students with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) may attend a Continuation High School if their IEP specifies that a continuation high school setting meets the students’ needs.

A student, in agreement with the parent, may transfer voluntarily to a continuation high school. A student who has voluntarily transferred shall have the right to return to the traditional high school at the beginning of the following semester or, with the consent of the traditional high school, at any time.

• Students currently attending an LAUSD traditional high school should contact their current administration or counselor to request a transfer and coordinate an intake conference with the continuation high school of choice.

• Students entering from independent charter high schools or other schools outside of LAUSD who now live within LAUSD boundaries may enroll directly in a Continuation High School with proper enrollment documentation, which includes verification of check-out from the previous school.

Prior to enrollment, students and parents are expected to schedule an intake conference with the Continuation High School of choice. The purpose of the intake conference is to provide an opportunity to visit the school, meet with the principal, learn first-hand about the unique features and requirements of the school, and have the opportunity to ask and receive answers to their questions.
