Summary

Del Valle Continuation High is a small, alternative public school serving 87 students in grades 7-12 within the Livermore Valley Joint Unified district, designed to support students who have faced significant challenges in traditional high school settings.

The school operates with a very different mission and student population compared to nearby comprehensive high schools like Granada High or Livermore High. It serves students with higher needs, which is reflected in much smaller class sizes (a student-teacher ratio of 8.9 to 1) and significantly higher per-student spending to provide intensive, personalized support. While standardized test scores are low, the school's most critical measure of success—its graduation rate of 94%—exceeds both state and district averages, highlighting its effectiveness in helping at-risk students earn a diploma.

When compared to other continuation schools in the area, such as Valley High (Continuation) in Dublin Unified or Village High in Pleasanton Unified, Del Valle's graduation rate is notably strong. The school shows particular effectiveness in supporting Special Education students. Its model demonstrates that for continuation schools, success is more accurately measured by graduation outcomes than by traditional test scores.
