Buena Vista Continuation High

Summary:

Buena Vista Continuation High is a small public high school in Chino, California, serving grades 9-12 and part of the Chino Valley Unified school district. Despite its specialized focus on supporting students who have struggled in traditional high school settings, the school faces significant academic and attendance challenges.

Buena Vista Continuation High consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of California high schools based on its low proficiency rates in core subjects. The school also experiences high dropout rates, ranging from 2% to 25.3%, and chronic absenteeism as high as 63.9%. These challenges are compounded by the school's high percentage of students from low-income families, English Language Learners, and Special Education students. In comparison, nearby traditional high schools like Chino Hills High and Ruben S. Ayala High have significantly higher academic proficiency, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism.

However, Buena Vista Continuation High has shown a remarkable improvement in its four-year graduation rates, increasing from 63.6% in 2018-2019 to 97% in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school's specialized approach and focus on providing a more personalized and flexible learning environment may be effective in supporting students who have struggled in traditional high school settings. Continued efforts to address the unique needs of this student population, such as targeted interventions and support programs, could lead to further improvements in the school's overall outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
