Prospect Community Day

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Prospect Community Day is a very small, alternative high school serving grades 7–12 with only 17 students in the Folsom-Cordova Unified district, designed for students who may need a different setting than a traditional school.

The school is defined by its highly personalized support, with a very low student-teacher ratio of just over 5-to-1, and it receives significant funding, spending over $67,000 per student—more than double most nearby schools like Cordova High. However, it faces profound challenges, most notably an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 86.4%, and it does not have recent published state test scores, which is common for very small alternative programs. The school serves a population with high economic need, with over 82% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to other schools in the area, Prospect Community Day shares its location and mission with Kinney High (Continuation), and both have similarly high absenteeism. This contrasts sharply with higher-performing nearby options like Meraki High, which has strong academic results despite a much larger average class size. The school's role in the district is to provide intensive, alternative education, though its effectiveness is difficult to measure through standard academic data alone.
