East Side Union High

Summary:

The East Side Union High School District in California encompasses 16 high schools serving a diverse student population. The district as a whole is ranked 693 out of 1,568 districts in the state and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out as top performers. Evergreen Valley High consistently ranks among the best high schools in California, with a 96.8% four-year graduation rate and impressive academic achievements, including 83.53% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 67.47% in Mathematics. Piedmont Hills High and Santa Teresa High also excel, with high graduation rates and strong academic performance.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities within the district. Schools like Foothill High and Calero High struggle with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and poor academic outcomes, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address these inequities. Addressing chronic absenteeism, which is a concern at several schools, could also help improve student outcomes across the district.
