High Schools in San Pasqual Valley Unified

The San Pasqual Valley Unified school district in California is home to 3 high schools serving grades 9-12. The data reveals significant performance disparities among these schools, with the largest school, San Pasqual Valley High, performing well below state standards in core academic areas, while the smaller schools, Bill M. Manes High and San Pasqual Vocational Academy, are among the lowest-performing in the state.

San Pasqual Valley High, the largest school with 206 students, has the highest graduation rate at 79.5% and the lowest dropout rate at 15.9% among the 3 schools. However, its test scores are significantly below the state averages, with only 33.33% proficient or better in ELA and 4.88% in Math for 11th grade. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.9% and a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 64.08%. In contrast, the smaller schools, Bill M. Manes High and San Pasqual Vocational Academy, have lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and have consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of California high schools over the past decade.

Across the district, the average student-teacher ratio is 14.0, with San Pasqual Vocational Academy having the lowest ratio at 5.1. The district's average proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science are significantly below the state averages, and the high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 64.08% to 78.57%, suggest a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. These findings indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by these schools and ensure equitable access to quality education for all students in the San Pasqual Valley Unified district.
