Original Research by School Decision on N.a. Chaderjian High
N.A. Chaderjian High is closed. The school operated as an alternative secondary program in Stockton under the California Education Authority, the educational arm of the state's former Division of Juvenile Justice. Under state legislation, all Division of Juvenile Justice facilities closed on July 1, 2023, and custody and education of youth in the system transferred to county-run secure youth treatment facilities. The Stockton facility, including N.A. Chaderjian High, ceased operation as part of that realignment.
No current enrollment, student demographic, or state testing data is available because the school is no longer operating. The school's final testing results from 2014-15 were suppressed, meaning the number of students tested fell below the state reporting threshold, so no proficiency information survives for that year.
The school served as an alternative education setting within the juvenile justice system, not a school a family would choose to enroll in through conventional residential placement. Its closure reflects a statewide policy shift to move youth from state custody into county-managed programs rather than a decline in a traditional public school.
