School Overview
Jim Beckwourth High School, located in Portola, California, serves as the primary continuation school for the Plumas Unified School District. As a continuation program, it is specifically designed to provide an alternative educational path for students who may struggle in a traditional high school environment. The school focuses on credit recovery, academic support, and personalized instruction, allowing students to progress toward their high school diploma in a smaller, more flexible setting that emphasizes individual student needs.

Operated under the guidance of the Plumas County Office of Education (PCOE), the school mirrors the district's commitment to fostering a supportive community where students can overcome academic or personal hurdles. By offering a smaller student-to-teacher ratio and a specialized curriculum, Jim Beckwourth High provides a second chance for students to regain academic momentum, develop essential life skills, and ultimately prepare for post-secondary success.
