High Schools in Castro Valley Unified

The Castro Valley Unified School District operates three high schools serving grades 9-12: Castro Valley High, Redwood Continuation High, and Roy A. Johnson High. While the district as a whole performs well, the data reveals significant disparities in the quality of education provided at these high schools.

Castro Valley High stands out as the district's top-performing high school, with consistently high statewide rankings, a 96.4% four-year graduation rate, and strong student achievement on standardized tests. In contrast, the smaller alternative high schools, Redwood Continuation High and Roy A. Johnson High, struggle with much lower test scores, higher dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism issues.

The data suggests that while Castro Valley Unified as a district is performing well, there are significant disparities in the quality of education provided at different high schools. The district may want to examine the factors contributing to the success of Castro Valley High and explore ways to replicate those best practices at the smaller, lower-performing schools to ensure all students in the district have access to a high-quality education.
