Summary

Kings Canyon Online is a 142-student K–12 alternative school in Dunlap, California, in the Kings Canyon Joint Unified district. Its latest results are sharply mixed, and the clearest concern is mathematics: in 2025–2026, 10% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide and 46% districtwide.

The school’s strongest academic results are in science and ELA. Science proficiency was 47%, 11 percentage points above the state and 13 above the district; ELA was 58%, 8 points above the state and essentially even with the district. In 2024–2025, nearby schools had very different results: Hume Lake Charter was 30 points ahead of Kings Canyon Online in ELA and 50 points ahead in math, while Kings Canyon Online was 16 points ahead of Esperanza High in ELA and 3 points behind in math. Other indicators are favorable: the school’s 2025–2026 graduation rate was 98%, versus 88% statewide and 96% districtwide, and chronic absenteeism was 1%, versus 18% statewide and 8% districtwide.

Mathematics has worsened over time: proficiency fell from 24% in 2022–2023 to 10% in 2025–2026, while the gap below the state widened from 11 to 29 points. ELA was essentially flat at 57% and 58% at those endpoints, while science rose from 33% to 47%. For context, the 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 16.7, and 93% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with 84% at Esperanza and 49% at Hume Lake. SchoolDigger school-level rank and stars are not supplied; the district is ranked 291 of 968, at the 70th percentile, with four stars. Grades 3–8 scores are suppressed, and nearby schools’ 2025–2026 scores are suppressed or unreported, limiting those comparisons.
