Victor Valley Union High

The Victor Valley Union High School District encompasses 10 schools, including 9 high schools and 1 middle school, serving grades 7-12. The district's schools demonstrate a wide range of academic performance, with some standout institutions like University Preparatory and Cobalt Institute of Math and Science consistently outperforming the district and state averages, while others like Goodwill Independent Study and Goodwill High struggle with low academic proficiency, high dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism.

The top-performing schools, University Preparatory and Cobalt Institute of Math and Science, boast exceptional academic results, with over 90% proficiency in English Language Arts and 40-60% proficiency in Mathematics. These schools also have high graduation rates, low chronic absenteeism, and strong ratings from SchoolDigger. In contrast, the lower-performing schools face significant challenges, with proficiency rates often below 10% and dropout rates as high as 38.9%.

The data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic outcomes, with the schools serving the most economically disadvantaged populations generally struggling the most. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Victor Valley Union High School District will be crucial for improving overall district performance and student success.
