Summary

North Valley High is a very small public high school serving just 72 students in grades 9-12 within the Anderson Union High district in Anderson, CA, and it faces significant challenges across every major measure of school performance.

The school's academic results are extremely low, with nearly zero students proficient in core subjects, and it has a graduation rate of only 44.6% paired with a very high dropout rate of 35.7%. A critical issue is chronic absenteeism, with 100% of students missing too much school, which is a major barrier to learning. While the school spends more per student than some neighbors like West Valley Early College High or Foothill High, its outcomes are the worst in the region, performing far below other schools in the same district, such as Anderson High, which has much higher proficiency and graduation rates.

This school is a pronounced outlier, consistently ranking among the very bottom in the state for the past decade. Its performance is notably weaker than even other local alternative programs like Oakview High (Alternative). The extreme disparities within the Anderson Union High district suggest that the challenges at North Valley High are specific to the school's context and require urgent, targeted intervention to address fundamental barriers to student success and engagement.
