Summary

North Valley High (Continuation) is a very small, alternative public high school serving 38 students in grades 9-12 within the Orland Joint Unified district, designed to support students at risk of not graduating from a traditional high school.

The school faces significant challenges, ranking among the lowest-performing high schools in California with 0% of students testing as proficient in English and math, and an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 75%. While its small size allows for a favorable student-teacher ratio of about 10-to-1, key outcomes like graduation and dropout rates have been extremely volatile from year to year. The student population has a very high economic need, with over 90% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to nearby schools, North Valley's struggles are pronounced. For example, its sister school, Orland High, has significantly higher academic proficiency and a stable graduation rate above 96%. Even among similar alternative programs like Centennial Continuation High in Corning, North Valley's academic results are lower. The school's performance has declined over the past decade, and addressing chronic absenteeism appears to be the most urgent priority for improving student outcomes.
