Original Research by School Decision on Enterprise Secondary
Enterprise Secondary is an alternative school serving grades six through twelve in Madera. It operates as part of the Madera County Superintendent of Schools system rather than as a traditional school district.
The school's enrollment data is not currently available, which is common for alternative programs that may serve smaller cohorts or operate with flexible enrollment structures.
State testing data from the school exists but cannot be fully reported due to student count thresholds that protect privacy when groups are very small. The available records show that students took the Smarter Balanced assessment in math and English language arts in 2015-16, with participation rates at or near full, and earlier science and social studies results from 2012-13. The specific proficiency rates cannot be disclosed because the tested groups were too small to publish without identifying individuals. This data pattern reflects the nature of alternative education: the school typically serves a limited number of students per grade level, which is expected for this type of program.
A graduation rate for the school is not available in the data provided. Information on the school's academic programs, course offerings, support services, discipline policies, and current staffing was not located. A parent looking to understand Enterprise Secondary's pathway and program structure may want to contact the school directly or reach out to the Madera County Superintendent of Schools office to learn what specific alternative programming it offers, how it structures credit requirements and advancement, and what kinds of student support it provides.
Madera itself is a Central Valley city rooted in agriculture, with a downtown anchored by locally owned shops along Yosemite Avenue and a housing market that reflects broader county growth. The area is experiencing significant development, with Madera County posting some of the fastest housing growth in California, driven by large master-planned communities like Riverstone and Tesoro Viejo. Employment centers around agriculture, food and goods manufacturing, health care anchored by Valley Children's Hospital, and logistics. The city operates public transit through Madera Metro, with fixed routes and curb-to-curb service connecting to schools, work, and shopping.
