A Edmentum Case Study
South Lindhurst Continuation High School, located in Olivehurst, CA, serves a transient, high‑need population of grades 10–12 students—many low‑income, English learners, and students with disabilities—who are behind in credits and require flexible, vocational, and special‑education supports. Principal David Jones faced the challenge of providing rigorous, individualized coursework and reliable progress tracking for students who don’t fit traditional curricula.
The school adopted Edmentum’s suite (Accucess assessments, Plato Courseware, test packs with prescriptions, and custom courses), using baseline assessments to prescribe targeted online coursework accessible 24/7 with supervised testing and built‑in pacing controls; courses include “a‑g”‑approved options for college readiness. In two years California graduation test pass rates rose 14 points in English/language arts and 17 points in math, graduation rates kept pace with district and state averages, packet‑based credit recovery was eliminated, and students gained measurable progress, motivation, and clearer college‑and‑career pathways.
