Summary

Chaparral High (Continuation) is a very small, specialized public high school in San Dimas serving about 54 students in grades 9-12 within the Bonita Unified School District, designed specifically to support students who have faced significant academic or personal challenges in a traditional school setting.

As a continuation school, Chaparral operates very differently from nearby comprehensive high schools like Bonita High or San Dimas High. It offers a highly personalized environment with a student-teacher ratio of just 5-to-1 and receives significantly more funding per student to address intensive needs. Its core mission is to provide an alternative pathway to a diploma, and recent graduation rates have shown improvement, reaching over 90% in some years. However, the school faces profound challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism and academic proficiency rates that are far below district and state averages, reflecting the difficult circumstances many of its students are working to overcome.

When compared to other local continuation schools such as Whitcomb Continuation High and Arrow High (Continuation), Chaparral shares a similar profile of high per-student spending and low test scores. Its performance metrics can vary considerably from year to year, partly due to its small size. For parents, it's crucial to understand that Chaparral's value lies in its dedicated, last-chance approach to helping at-risk students graduate, rather than in competing with traditional high schools on conventional academic measures.
