Yet Herlong High also struggles with a low 58.8% graduation rate and an alarmingly high 35.3% dropout rate.

Across the Fort Sage Unified district, chronic absenteeism is a significant issue, ranging from 20.2% at Mt. Lassen Charter to 66.0% at Herlong High. The small size of the schools, with the largest being Mt.

Addressing these systemic challenges will be crucial for improving student outcomes in the Herlong school community.
