Options for Youth-Victor Valley Charter

Options for Youth-Victor Valley Charter serves students in Victorville, a sprawling High Desert city about 90 miles northeast of Los Angeles where the cost of living is lower but the commute to coastal job markets can be long. As a charter school focused on flexible, alternative pathways to graduation, it tends to attract families whose students need something different from a traditional school setting — whether that's a nonstandard schedule, credit recovery, or a more individualized approach. Academic outcomes here are below state averages across the board, so families with students on a college-prep track may want to weigh other options in the Victor Valley area, but for students who need a supportive alternative environment to earn their diploma, this school fills an important role in the community.
