Summary

Buena Vista Continuation High is a small, 121-student school serving grades 9–12 in Chino, in the Chino Valley Unified district. Its 2025–2026 chronic absenteeism rate was 64%, compared with 18% statewide and 14% in the district; it was higher than every nearby school with a reported rate, including the next-highest, Chino Valley Learning Academy, at 54%. Although 94% of students graduated, above the state’s 88% rate, attendance is the school’s clearest and most urgent concern.

Test proficiency was low in all three subjects and below both the state and district in 2025–2026: 26% in ELA, 5% in math, and 6% in science, versus 49%, 38%, and 36% statewide. Math had the largest shortfall—34 points below the state and 46 below the district. Among nearby schools with reported all-grades results, Buena Vista ranked second-lowest in ELA, at 26%, and lowest in math, at 5%. Its 6% in science was above Boys Republic High at 0%, but below the next-lowest reported result, 18% at Chino Valley Learning Academy. ELA is its strongest subject relative to benchmarks, though its results remain well behind most nearby schools.

Scores have improved from their 2023–2024 lows: ELA rose from 11% to 26%, math from 0% to 5%, and science from 0% to 6%. Still, the state proficiency gaps widened from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026. SchoolDigger ranked Buena Vista at the 17th percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026, compared with the district’s 75th percentile and 4 stars; nearby schools with rankings were between the 58th and 93rd percentiles. A notable counterpoint is SchoolDigger’s subgroup standing: Special Education Students were at the 49th percentile in 2025–2026, versus 17 overall, while English Language Learner Students were at the 56th percentile in 2022–2023, versus 18 overall that year. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 8.3, lower than all nearby schools with reported ratios except Boys Republic High. Also that year, 65% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible, the lowest share among nearby schools with the same measure and year.
