Charter Information

Challenge Charter High School officially opened its doors in January of 1998. At that time there were four teachers, one secretary and approximately ninety students. Today we have grown to two administrators, two secretaries, 9 teachers, one para-educator and almost 170 students!

Such is the story of growth for charter schools throughout California. Currently there are approximately 400 charter schools operating in the state of California. These schools range in size from 25 students to over 1,000. Some are classroom based, some are independent study, home study and some are conversion schools- schools that existed previously and later converted to charter school status.

Just like the diversity in public schools, some charters are urban, others rural. There are elementary, middle and high school charters. There are charter schools in the middle of downtown Los Angeles, and charter schools way up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

At the core of the charter school movement is the commitment to parental involvement, and the belief that all children can learn and should be provided alternative educational options. Charter leaders believe parents and students have a right to choose where their children will be educated.

On this site you will find the text of our second charter document. This charter is due to expire in the summer of 2009. As a result, we will be working with the Oroville Union High School District this year to renew our charter and continue operating our school. You will also find documents which explain our student achievement goals, standardized test scores and copies of our School Accountability Report Card.

Should you have any questions about the attached documents, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
