Summary:
Edwards, California, is served by one public high school, Desert Junior-Senior High, a grades 7-12 campus in the Muroc Joint Unified School District with nearly 500 students.
Desert Junior-Senior High demonstrates a major strength in ensuring students graduate, achieving a perfect 100% graduation rate with no dropouts, which far exceeds state averages. However, the school's overall state ranking has declined in recent years, partly due to mixed academic results: while English Language Arts scores are competitive, mathematics proficiency is notably low and chronic student absenteeism is high, presenting significant challenges.
For families, this school shows a strong commitment to student completion and success in core literacy, but parents should be aware of the need for improvement in math and the ongoing issue with student attendance. The school outperforms its district in most subjects and excels in keeping students on track to graduate, making it a supportive environment that is actively working to address its academic gaps.
