Parent involvement
I enjoyed my time attending this school. I came from charter oak high school and found myself having trouble with the students and staff there. from there I went to south hills high and I had the same problems. as soon as I enrolled at fairvalley I felt very welcome there. students and staff are ver respectful. I attended that school for two years. I caught up on credits, finished early but still wanted to stay because that's how everyone wants to make u feel. I learned a lot from there more then any other school. I was planning on going back to a normal high school but decided not too because I loved it there. I wanna say thank you fairvalley!!! great high school memories!!!! class of 09!

—Submitted by a student
I am impressed by the level of commitment the staff have for helping the students. The principal, teachers, and support staff go out of their way to push students to be successful. If you student has to be in a continuation school, this is the one to be in!
Im a 2005 graduate and this troubled kids are better off at this small school because they are watched.Im glad there are continuation schools.

In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

In 2011-2012 California used the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to test high school students' skills in English language arts and mathematics. The results for grade 10 students taking the test for the first time are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The CAHSEE is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of California. Students must pass all parts of the CAHSEE in order to graduate from high school. If they do not pass it the first time, students have multiple opportunities to retake the test. The goal is for all students to pass both sections of the test.
