Summary

Goodwill High is a very small public high school serving 58 students in grades 9-12 within the Victor Valley Union High district in Victorville, CA, notable for its extremely high graduation rate despite significant challenges with student attendance.

The school serves a population with unique needs, as shown by a chronic absenteeism rate of over 92%, which is far higher than nearby schools like Cobalt Institute of Math and Science or University Preparatory. However, Goodwill High has achieved a remarkable turnaround, improving its graduation rate from 43.5% to 91.0% in just a few years, now exceeding both district and state averages. This success in helping students graduate occurs alongside very low scores on standardized tests in subjects like math and English.

With only 58 students, the school offers a low student-teacher ratio, allowing for more individualized support compared to larger local high schools. When compared to other alternative programs in the area, such as Goodwill Independent Study or Alta Vista Innovation High, Goodwill High stands out for its combination of high graduation and high absenteeism. This suggests the school functions as a critical safety net, effectively using flexible strategies to help students facing substantial barriers complete their diplomas, even as it works to improve core academic achievement.
