Summary

Prospect High (Continuation) is a small school in Oroville, California, serving 88 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Oroville Union High district. In 2025–26, just 14% of students were proficient in English, none in math, and 2% in science; chronic absenteeism was 77%. Absenteeism has improved, but remains far above state and district levels. The clearest concern is the combination of very low results across all three subjects and exceptionally high absenteeism.

Compared with nearby schools, Prospect had the lowest reported proficiency in all three subjects. Its results were 24 points below the district and 35 points below the state in English, 16 and 38 points below in math, and 23 and 34 points below in science. Nearby-school averages were 50% in English, 22% in math, and 34% in science, leaving Prospect 36, 22, and 32 points behind, respectively. Attendance also stands out: Prospect’s 77% chronic absenteeism was 46 points above the district and 59 points above the state; only Esperanza High (Continuation) was higher among nearby schools. Graduation is a bright spot: Prospect’s rate rose to 89% in 2025–26, about 1 point above both the state and district. It was just above Las Plumas High and Oroville High, though below some nearby schools with rates of 92% or 100%.

Results have not improved steadily: English rose from 0% in 2022–23 to 14% in 2025–26, while math stayed at 0% and science slipped from 3% to 2%. SchoolDigger ranked Prospect in the 5th percentile with 0 stars in 2025–26, after rankings of the 2nd percentile in 2023–24 and 18th in 2024–25. Its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 10.3, the lowest nearby, compared with a nearby average of 17.4; this has not coincided with stronger test results. In 2024–25, 90% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the second-highest nearby share. SchoolDigger’s subgroup ranking suggests a relative bright spot in how the school serves Special Education Students: they ranked in the 20th percentile in 2025–26, compared with the school’s overall 5th-percentile ranking.
