What Arroyo Valley High School does

Arroyo Valley High School is a public secondary institution serving grades 9-12 in San Bernardino, California, operating under the San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD). The school enrolled 2,884 students and is staffed by 129 full-time teachers and 97 non-teaching personnel, including paraprofessionals and support staff. Its student population is 89.5% socioeconomically disadvantaged and 16.6% English Language Learners, positioning the school as a Title I-equivalent high-need institution. Revenue is derived entirely from public funding streams: California state education funding, local property taxes, and federal grants allocated through SBCUSD on a per-pupil basis of $16,245.

The school's core academic product is a Linked Learning-aligned Career Technical Education (CTE) model organized into nine academies: Ani-Vation Tech Academy (IT support, networking, E-Sports, Silver-certified), Business and Logistics Academy (Gold-certified), C.O.R.E Academy (renewable energy and construction, Gold-certified), Digital Media Arts Academy (media design and broadcast journalism, Gold-certified), Educators For Tomorrow Academy (education pathway, California Distinguished Partnership Academy), Global Leadership Academy (IB-based, Silver-certified), Elevate Academy (early-college dual enrollment launched Fall 2024), and the Visual and Performing Arts Academy. Additional programs include AVID college readiness, JROTC, and the AVU dual enrollment program with San Bernardino Valley College that allows students to earn college credit at no cost.

The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer public enrollment: students enroll through SBCUSD's open-enrollment and school-choice processes, with the school actively recruiting through its academy programs and dual enrollment value proposition. Distribution is wholly on-campus at 1881 West Baseline Street, San Bernardino. The institution has no commercial pricing, no API product, and no proprietary technology platform; it is a service-delivery organization. Recent strategic activity has centered on accumulating external validation: three Linked Learning Gold and three Silver certifications, two California Distinguished Partnership Academy designations, the 2026 AVID Teacher Advocacy Award (one of three California schools recognized), and GreatSchools national recognition as a model for CTE success in high-need communities.
