Summary

Centennial Continuation High is a very small continuation high school in Corning, CA, serving 67 students in grades 9-12 who have faced significant challenges in traditional school settings, within a district that faces its own academic hurdles.

This school serves a student population with substantial needs, and its academic results are significantly lower than nearby traditional high schools like Corning Union High and Los Molinos High. For example, while 0% of students were proficient in math at Centennial, proficiency rates were 15.6% at Corning Union High and 31.8% at Los Molinos High. The most pressing challenge is chronic absenteeism, with nearly 80% of students missing too much school, a rate far higher than other local schools and even most other continuation programs like North Valley High (Continuation).

Despite these severe academic and attendance struggles, Centennial's 83.3% graduation rate is a notable achievement for its vulnerable students, and it operates with a better student-teacher ratio (13-to-1) than surrounding schools. The wide range of outcomes among similar continuation schools in the area—from the higher graduation rate at North Valley High to the severe challenges at Success One!—suggests that while serving this population is difficult, some schools are finding more effective strategies than others.
