Summary

Options for Youth-Victor Valley Charter is a public charter high school serving 886 students in grades 7-12 in Victorville, CA, showing recent academic improvement but facing significant challenges with graduation rates and student attendance.

The school is improving, moving from the 32nd to the 49th percentile in statewide rankings over recent years, and it performs better academically than several nearby alternative schools like Alta Vista Innovation High, Mojave High, and Canyon Ridge High. It shows a particular strength in serving special education students, ranking in the 73rd percentile for that group. However, the school has an extremely low graduation rate (25-42%) and a high rate of chronic absenteeism (44%), which are common challenges among the alternative schools in the area.

When compared to all local schools, OFY-Victor Valley sits in the middle of a wide performance spectrum. It significantly trails top-performing local charters like University Preparatory and the Cobalt Institute of Math and Science, which have much higher graduation rates and near-perfect attendance. The school operates within the Options for Youth-Victor Valley Charter District, which is in the bottom 20% of California districts, and spends about $20,777 per student, a figure that raises questions about efficiency compared to higher-achieving charters with similar budgets.
