School Overview

Fair View High School, located in Chico, California, functions as the district’s continuation high school. It is designed to provide an alternative educational environment for students who may struggle in a traditional comprehensive high school setting. The school focuses on credit recovery and academic flexibility, allowing students who have fallen behind in their progress toward graduation to earn the necessary credits to receive their high school diploma in a smaller, more personalized atmosphere.

Beyond academics, Fair View High emphasizes social-emotional support and individualized attention. By maintaining smaller class sizes and fostering close relationships between students and faculty, the school aims to re-engage students who are at risk of dropping out. The program is structured to help students overcome personal or academic barriers, build confidence, and prepare for life after graduation, whether that involves transitioning to college, vocational training, or the workforce.
