Summary

Citrus High (Continuation) is a public continuation high school in the Fontana Unified district, serving about 335 students in grades 10-12 who are seeking an alternative pathway after struggling in a traditional high school setting.

The school faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 2% of all California high schools, with very low proficiency rates in core subjects like English (3.8%) and math (1.5%). A major barrier is chronic absenteeism, with over 57% of students missing a large amount of school, which is more than double the rate at nearby comprehensive schools like Fontana High. While its 83.6% graduation rate is below average, it's important to note that another continuation school in the same district, Eric Birch High (Continuation), achieves a 90.3% graduation rate, showing that different programs within the same system can yield different results.

Interestingly, Citrus High operates with less funding per student than the district's comprehensive high schools but has smaller class sizes. The school's performance has declined sharply in the last year, and it serves a student population where economic disadvantage is prevalent. For parents considering this option, understanding the school's specific support systems and comparing them directly with other local alternatives like Eric Birch is crucial.
