Summary

West Side Valley High (Continuation) is a small grades 9–12 school in Newman, California, in the Newman-Crows Landing Unified district, with 41 students reported. Its most serious concerns are very low reported academic proficiency and exceptionally high chronic absenteeism: it recorded 0% proficiency in English, math, and science in 2025–2026, while 85% of students were chronically absent.

Test results are below nearby-school, district, and state comparisons in every subject. The seven nearby schools with reported 2025–2026 results averaged 41% in English, 14% in math, and 17% in science, compared with 0% at West Side Valley; the school was also 49, 38, and 36 percentage points below state results, respectively. Its English shortfall was largest relative to both the state and district. Graduation is a more positive comparison: the 2025–2026 rate was 89%, about 1 point above the state rate and 7 points below the district rate. However, chronic absenteeism was 77 points above the district and 67 points above the state; among nearby schools with reported rates, only Pioneer High (Continuation) was close, at 75%.

Reported proficiency has remained at 0% across the available years, and the gap with the state widened in English, math, and science. Chronic absenteeism has also stayed high: after 55% in 2021–2022 and 91% in 2022–2023, it was 74%, 75%, and 85% in the next three reported years. SchoolDigger places the school at the 0th percentile with 0 stars in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026 (rank 2,135 of 2,137 in the latest year); its earlier 2018–2019 standing was the 26th percentile. For context, its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 20.5, near the nearby-school average of 19.3, and 78% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, compared with a nearby-school average of 74%.
