Santee Education Complex is a secondary school located at 1921 South Maple Avenue in Los Angeles, California. Santee, which serves grades nine through twelve, is a part of the Los Angeles Unified School District and is located in the South Los Angeles area.

History The campus opened on July 5, 2005, with a three-track, year-round calendar to provide immediate relief for overcrowding at nearby Jefferson High School. It was the first new four-year high school to open in LAUSD in over 35 years. Funding came from a school construction bond issue passed by Los Angeles voters in 2000. Santee was initially under the auspices of Local District 5. Beginning with the 2008/2009 school year, Santee teachers and administrators voted to join the Partnership for Los Angeles Schools, a newly formed organization dedicated to bringing the best instructional and operational practices into the classrooms of inner-city schools.

Since its opening, Santee has enjoyed a steady improvement in its API, CAHSEE scores and graduation rates. Santee's academic progress was also confirmed by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) when it awarded the school a three-year accreditation beginning with the 2010–2011 school year.

On June 24, 2011, Santee held its sixth graduation ceremony, featuring a commencement address by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
