What stands out
- District's own page states placement at the student's home school is not guaranteed if a student later returns from Independent Study, a real switching-cost caveat for families. (source)
- Lawndale's high-school-age students attend Centinela Valley Union HSD schools, which does operate a dedicated grades 9-12 independent study high school (see Centinela Valley Independent Study School, this same list). (source)
Questions to ask
- Is there any LESD-run, long-term K-8 independent study option, or does the district only offer short-term absence coverage?
