High Schools in Hemet Unified

The Hemet Unified School District in California is home to 6 high schools, serving students in grades 9-12. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance and school climate across these institutions, with Western Center Academy emerging as the standout school in the district.

Western Center Academy, a public charter high school, consistently ranks among the top schools in California, boasting exceptional academic results, a 100% four-year graduation rate, and a 0% dropout rate. In contrast, Alessandro High appears to be the lowest-performing school, with low proficiency rates, a high dropout rate, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 94.8%.

The data suggests that socioeconomic factors, as indicated by free/reduced lunch rates, and student-teacher ratios may play a role in the disparities observed. Schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as West Valley High and Tahquitz High, tend to have lower academic achievement compared to Western Center Academy, which has a lower free/reduced lunch rate. Additionally, schools with lower student-teacher ratios, like Hamilton, may be able to provide more individualized attention and support to their students.
