School Overview

San Luis High School, located on Seventh Street in Los Banos, California, functions as the district’s continuation high school. Unlike a traditional comprehensive high school, its primary mission is to provide an alternative educational environment tailored to students who may be at risk of not graduating or who require a more flexible, individualized approach to learning. The school is designed to help students recover academic credits, improve attendance, and ultimately earn their high school diploma in a setting that prioritizes smaller class sizes and personalized support.

The school plays a vital role within the Los Banos Unified School District by offering a path to success for students who struggle with the pace or structure of a larger campus. By focusing on credit recovery and social-emotional growth, San Luis High provides a bridge for students to either complete their requirements for graduation or transition back into a traditional school environment. Its presence ensures that all students in the community have access to the resources and guidance necessary to overcome educational hurdles and prepare for post-secondary opportunities.
