The Lake Arrowhead Christian School, faced with financial and enrollment challenges that grew out of the COVID-19 pandemic and from which it has not recovered, will close out its high school program at the end of the 2022–2023 school year.
During the 2019-20 school year the number of students at the school stood at 250. Enrollment has now dwindled to less than 150, such that its owner, Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, is losing $500,000 yearly in sustaining its operations.
The school is arranging for current 11th grade students to complete their senior year in 2023-24 and to carry on as a kindergarten through 8th-grade campus.
