Summary

Fair View High (Continuation) is a small, alternative public high school serving about 95 students in grades 9-12 within the Chico Unified School District, designed for students who have struggled in traditional school settings.

The school receives significant resources, spending over $33,000 per student—more than double the amount at nearby Chico High or Pleasant Valley High—and maintains very small classes for intensive support. However, key outcomes are critically low, with a 71.4% graduation rate, nearly 9 out of 10 students chronically absent, and almost no students testing proficient in core subjects. This performance is significantly lower than other local schools, including other programs for at-risk youth like Pivot Charter School North Valley II.

Fair View High shares its location with two other alternative schools, Academy for Change and Center for Alternative Learning, which also report severe challenges, suggesting a district-wide need to re-evaluate how to best serve these high-need students. The school's recent performance rankings have fallen to the very bottom in the state, indicating an urgent need for intervention to transform its substantial resources into effective support for student engagement and success.
