Summary

Phoenix High (Continuation) is a small, alternative public high school serving about 105 students in grades 9-12 within the Western Placer Unified School District in Lincoln, CA, designed specifically for students who have faced significant academic or personal challenges in a traditional high school setting.

The school's performance metrics are significantly different from the district's comprehensive high schools, Twelve Bridges High and Lincoln High. For instance, its most recent graduation rate was 24.4%, compared to rates above 89% at the nearby comprehensive schools, and chronic absenteeism is over 90%, which is dramatically higher. The school receives higher per-student funding, reflecting the intensive support its students require, but academic proficiency in core subjects like math and English remains low compared to other area schools.

When compared to other alternative schools in the region, such as Victory High in Rocklin Unified or Independence High in Roseville Joint Union High, Phoenix High faces more pronounced challenges with graduation and attendance. This highlights the complex mission of continuation schools and suggests that outcomes can vary widely even among schools with similar purposes, pointing to the profound difficulties in re-engaging students who have struggled elsewhere.
