Summary

Eric Birch High (Continuation) is a small, alternative public high school serving about 240 students in grades 10-12 within the Fontana Unified School District, designed to support students who have struggled in traditional high school settings.

The school faces significant challenges, particularly with chronic absenteeism, where over half of students miss too much school, and with academic proficiency rates in core subjects that are dramatically lower than at nearby comprehensive high schools like Fontana A. B. Miller High and Fontana High. Despite these struggles, Eric Birch High shows a real strength in helping students graduate, with a rate over 90%, and has historically been more effective for its English Language Learners compared to other student groups. Its situation is very similar to other local continuation schools, such as Dr. John H. Milor High Continuation and Slover Mountain High (Continuation), which also show low academic rankings and high absenteeism.

Notably, Eric Birch High operates with much smaller class sizes than other district schools, which allows for more individual attention, yet it receives significantly less funding per student. When compared to other alternative programs in the area, such as Zupanic Virtual Academy or Entrepreneur High Fontana, which serve similar student populations, those schools often achieve better academic outcomes, suggesting that different educational approaches within alternative settings can yield different results.
