CHAUTAUQUA HIGH (CONTINUATION)

Chautauqua High (Continuation) is a Title I public high school that is part of the Bear Valley Unified school district, located in Big Bear City, CA with about 46 students offering grade levels from 8th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 3 teachers, Chautauqua High (Continuation) has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Chautauqua High School, located in Big Bear City, California, serves as the district’s designated continuation high school. As a continuation program, it provides an alternative educational setting specifically designed to support students who may benefit from a more flexible or personalized approach to learning. The school focuses on credit recovery and academic intervention, allowing students who have fallen behind in traditional credit requirements to get back on track for graduation in a smaller, more focused environment.

Because the school operates within the Bear Valley Unified School District, it emphasizes the importance of providing a pathway to a high school diploma for students whose needs are not met by the standard comprehensive high school model. By offering smaller class sizes and closer relationships with staff, Chautauqua High provides the emotional and academic support necessary for students to overcome personal or educational hurdles, ultimately preparing them for post-secondary success or the workforce.
