School Overview

Chaparral High School in San Dimas is a specialized "continuation" high school within the Bonita Unified School District. These institutions are designed to provide an alternative educational path for students who may not thrive in a traditional comprehensive high school environment. The school focuses on credit recovery, helping students who have fallen behind academically to get back on track, earn their high school diplomas, and prepare for life after graduation.

The environment at Chaparral is typically smaller and more personalized than a standard high school, allowing for increased one-on-one attention from teachers and counselors. By offering flexible scheduling and a targeted curriculum, the school aims to support students in overcoming academic or personal hurdles. Ultimately, Chaparral serves as a vital resource for the community, ensuring that all students have a pathway to graduation regardless of the challenges they may face in a traditional classroom setting.
