Sonoma County Alternative Education Programs, Sonoma County Court and Sonoma County Special Education share this address in the state’s school directory. The California School Campus Database maps the grounds as one campus. Which buildings each school uses here isn’t mapped.
Drawn from OpenStreetMap, inside the campus outline from the California School Campus Database (2025). Volunteers map it, so a new building may be missing. Buildings with no mapped height are drawn one storey high.

Schools maintain a closed campus policy. For students’ safety, visitors may enter a campus only with the school’s official permission; this drawing implies no permission to enter.

Who can act on Sonoma County Alternative Education Programs’ results?
The state has Sonoma County Alternative Education Programs in targeted support; Sonoma County Office of Education’s board decides its plan.
Students at Sonoma County Alternative Education Programs are placed here by probation, district or voluntary referral.
What has the state flagged?
The state named it because results were low for Hispanic or Latino students and low-income students. This support comes with a school improvement plan, which must use approaches with evidence behind them. Ask the principal to see the school improvement plan.

Where these figures come fromEach measure’s source, student group and definition
- Graduated in four years
- 2024–25 · 3 of 13 students who started 9th grade together. California Department of Education, adjusted cohort graduation records.
- Ready for college or career (state measure)
- 2024–25 · 0 of 13 students in the state’s measure. California Department of Education, College/Career Indicator (CCI), overall “Prepared” rate, among the students in the indicator’s group. Prepared is CDE’s overall classification, not AP participation or a college admission rate.
- Finished the UC/CSU course list
- 2024–25 · 0 of 3 graduates finished the UC/CSU course list. California Department of Education, A–G completion records (graduates who met the UC/CSU course requirements). Course completion is separate from college enrollment.
- Where students who finished high school went
- CDE college-going records, class of 2023. College enrollment is counted for 12 months after finishing high school and matched to college records, so this runs about two years behind. A dash is unavailable, not zero.
How often do students miss school or get suspended?
72 in 100 students were chronically absent in 2025–26. That means they missed 10% or more of school days. 9.5% of students were suspended at least once in 2025–26.

Share among Prepared students: not calculable, because no student here was classified Prepared. This measure uses Prepared students as its denominator, not the whole CCI cohort; it is not an AP exam-taking rate or a count of AP courses offered. That cohort includes all students in the current four-year graduation cohort plus only Prepared fifth-year graduates from the prior cohort. In 2025 the pathway accepts two qualifying AP exams, two qualifying AP courses, or a combination of one of each in different subjects.
