Summary

Cajon High is a large public high school serving 2,748 students in grades 9-12 within the San Bernardino City Unified district, and it stands out as a point of strength in its community, achieving impressive results in key areas despite facing significant economic challenges.

The school truly excels in keeping students on track to graduate, with a 97.2% graduation rate that is the highest among all nearby high schools and far above both district and state averages; it also has an exceptionally low dropout rate of just 1.0%. Furthermore, Cajon High's students perform remarkably well in English Language Arts, with a proficiency rate that significantly outpaces every other high school in San Bernardino City Unified, including San Gorgonio High, and even beats the state average. This is a notable achievement, especially when compared to neighboring districts like Rialto Unified, which generally sees higher performance.

Its chronic absenteeism rate is better than the district average and most local schools, such as Sierra High. The school's performance shows that strong leadership and effective programs can create a successful environment where students are engaged, supported, and graduating at high rates.
