High Schools in Visalia Unified

The Visalia Unified School District in California is home to 8 high schools, serving students in grades 9-12. The schools in this district vary significantly in their performance metrics, with some standout institutions like Redwood High and El Diamante High consistently ranking among the top 25% of California high schools, while others, such as Sequoia High and Creekside Community Day, struggle across multiple performance indicators.

The data reveals significant disparities in graduation rates, dropout rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism among the high schools in the Visalia Unified district. While schools like Visalia Technical Early College boast exceptional graduation rates of 97.7%, other schools, such as Sequoia High, have graduation rates as low as 69.7%. Similarly, the schools' performance on standardized tests varies greatly, with Redwood, El Diamante, and Visalia Technical Early College consistently outperforming the district and state averages.

The data also suggests that socioeconomic factors, as indicated by free/reduced lunch rates, may play a role in the schools' performance outcomes. Schools with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students, like Sequoia High and Creekside Community Day, tend to have lower performance across multiple metrics. This highlights the need for the district to identify and address the root causes of these disparities, potentially through targeted interventions and resource allocation, to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Visalia Unified district.
