High Schools in Long Beach Unified

Summary:

The Long Beach Unified School District in California is home to 13 high schools, serving students in grades 9-12. These schools vary significantly in size, academic performance, and other key metrics. While the district as a whole is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, a closer look reveals a diverse range of educational outcomes within the system.

Two schools stand out as exceptional performers: California Academy of Mathematics and Science (CAMS) and Eunice Sato Academy of Math & Science. These specialized STEM-focused schools consistently rank among the top high schools in the state, with over 90% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, schools like Reid High and Educational Partnership High struggle with much lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and lower proficiency levels on standardized tests.

Chronic absenteeism also appears to be a significant issue for several schools in the district, particularly Reid High, Educational Partnership High, and Millikan High. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could be a key strategy for improving academic outcomes across the Long Beach Unified district.
