Summary

West Side Valley High (Continuation) is a very small public high school serving 41 students in grades 9-12 in Newman, CA, designed for students who have struggled in traditional school settings within the Newman-Crows Landing Unified district.

The school faces significant challenges, with zero percent of students testing as proficient in English, math, or science, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 75%, which is nearly four times the state average. While its recent graduation rate of 89.3% shows strong improvement, its academic results are far below other local schools like Orestimba High (54% ELA proficiency) and Patterson High (63% ELA proficiency). Similar continuation schools in the area, such as Del Puerto High and Pioneer High (Continuation), also show high absenteeism and low test scores, indicating these are common difficulties for this type of school.

Notably, West Side Valley High spends more per student ($22,706) than any nearby comparison school, yet this high level of resources has not led to better academic outcomes. The school serves a population where 78% are economically disadvantaged, and its performance for these students ranks among the lowest in the state. This suggests the school model, while helping more students graduate, is not currently succeeding in providing core academic proficiency.
