Summary

Confluence Continuation High is a small public high school in Auburn, CA, serving about 103 students in grades 10-12 who have typically faced significant challenges in traditional school settings, and it is part of the Placer Union High district.

The school serves a specialized role, and its performance metrics are very different from the larger, comprehensive high schools nearby. For instance, its chronic absenteeism rate is 80%, which is dramatically higher than schools like Del Oro High (9.3%) or Placer High (17.1%). Academically, fewer than 7% of students are proficient in English and fewer than 4% in math, which is far below both district and state averages. However, there is a notable positive trend: the graduation rate recently improved to 86.2%, a significant jump from previous years.

This pattern of high needs and high absenteeism is common among continuation schools in the area, including Phoenix High and Victory High. While Confluence spends less per student than some other local schools, its recent graduation improvement suggests it is finding ways to help students succeed on an alternative path. Parents should understand this school is designed for students who need a different approach, and its data reflects the considerable challenges it works to overcome.
