Better than 91% of California high schools

Summary

Arcadia High is a large, top-performing public high school serving grades 9-12 to nearly 3,000 students in the academically strong Arcadia Unified district, consistently earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the 91st percentile among all California high schools.

The school excels with a near-perfect 99.1% graduation rate, a very low 0.3% dropout rate, and chronic absenteeism at just 6.6%—less than a third of the state average. Academically, students significantly outperform state averages, with over 62% proficient in math and 66% in English. The school achieves this excellence cost-effectively, spending about $18,000 per student, which is notably less than many neighboring schools like Rose City High (Continuation) or El Monte Union High School Community Day that have much higher per-student costs but face greater challenges with attendance and graduation.

When compared to nearby schools, Arcadia High and the similarly strong Temple City High form a distinct corridor of high achievement, while other close schools like Monrovia High show notable performance gaps, highlighting how district policies and community support influence success. The school has also shown resilience, maintaining high performance through recent challenging years and demonstrating effective support for students from various economic backgrounds.
