Hawthorne was one of 318 districts in California to achieve a perfect 0% dropout rate, making up 5.3% of all districts statewide.
California's 2024-25 budget allocates nearly $76.4 billion to K-12 schools, avoiding education funding cuts for the upcoming year. However, some contend that the state's funding formula may be counterproductive. A Reason Foundation study suggests that taxpayers have spent over $4 billion on more than 400,000 “ghost students” — over 6% of total state school aid.
