School Overview

West Side Valley High School, located in Newman, California, is a continuation high school within the Newman-Crows Landing Unified School District. As a continuation program, its primary mission is to provide an alternative educational path for students who are at risk of not graduating from a traditional comprehensive high school. The school focuses on credit recovery and individualized academic support, allowing students to work at their own pace to meet graduation requirements in a smaller, more focused setting.

The school is designed to foster a supportive environment that prioritizes student engagement and social-emotional growth alongside academics. By maintaining smaller class sizes, West Side Valley High enables teachers to provide targeted mentorship and interventions tailored to the specific needs of each student. This approach helps students who may have struggled with attendance, credit deficiencies, or personal challenges to regain momentum, earn their high school diplomas, and prepare for post-secondary opportunities, whether in the workforce or higher education.
