Summary:
The city of Altaville, California has only one public high school serving grades 9-12 - Vallecito Continuation High. This school is part of the Bret Harte Union High School District, which is ranked 735 out of 1,560 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Vallecito Continuation High appears to be a struggling school, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of California high schools with a 1-star rating. Only 32.26% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 57.05% for the district and 55.41% statewide. In Mathematics, just 3.45% of 11th-graders were proficient, versus 20.26% for the district and 27.36% statewide. The school also had a high dropout rate of 10.4% and a chronic absenteeism rate of 68.8% in the 2022-2023 school year.
Despite these challenges, Vallecito Continuation High serves a diverse student population, with a majority white student body and significant Hispanic and Native American representation. Nearly half (47.83%) of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the school serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged community. The school's low academic performance and high dropout rates suggest the need for targeted interventions and support systems to improve educational outcomes for the Altaville community.
