Summary

Canyon Oaks High is a very small public high school serving only 49 students in grades 9-12 within the Monrovia Unified School District, and it faces significant challenges that set it apart from other schools in the area.

The school's academic performance is among the lowest in the state, with only 7% of students proficient in math and 29% in English, which is far below nearby schools like Monrovia High and Duarte High. A major contributing factor is an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of nearly 70%, meaning a large majority of students miss a significant amount of school, compared to rates under 20% at most surrounding high schools. Interestingly, the school spends significantly more per student and has a much lower student-to-teacher ratio than these comparison schools, but these resources have not yet led to stronger academic outcomes.

Given its small size, high needs population, and performance profile, Canyon Oaks High appears to function as an alternative placement within the district, similar to other local schools like North Park Continuation High. Its graduation and dropout rates are highly volatile from year to year, which is common for very small schools. For improvement, the school's most urgent priority is likely addressing the foundational issue of student attendance.
