MVLA summer school recruitment proves to be challenging
In-person summer school will be held at Mountain View High School, above.
The need for summer school is greater than ever after a year when the pandemic has upended education, but getting students to sign up is proving challenging.
Although the number of F grades more than doubled in the Mountain View Los Altos Union High School District last fall, the number of students who have registered for summer school thus far is lower than those who attended in previous years.
The initial sign-up window closed April 23, with roughly 350 students registered for the first session of summer school and 330 for the second. In comparison, in 2019, 510 students attended the first session and 489 showed up for the second. Students can sign up for both sessions if they have multiple semesters’ worth of work to make up.
