Summary

Maine Prairie High (Continuation) is a small alternative high school within the Dixon Unified district, serving grades 10-12 for students who have struggled in a traditional high school setting.

The school faces significant challenges, with academic proficiency rates far below those of nearby schools like Dixon High and Davis Senior High. Most critically, chronic absenteeism—students missing a large portion of the school year—is extremely high at 86%, which severely impacts learning. Graduation rates are volatile and dropout rates are significantly higher than the state average. This pattern is common among continuation schools, as seen with Martin Luther King High and Wolfskill High, which also report high absenteeism and lower graduation rates.

Despite these outcomes, Maine Prairie operates with more resources per student and a lower student-to-teacher ratio than comparison schools. This highlights the intensive support needed for its at-risk student population and the fundamental difficulty of educating students who are frequently absent. The school's performance underscores the complex mission of continuation education in providing an alternative path to a diploma.
