Summary:
Vasquez High is the only listed high school in Acton-Agua Dulce Unified, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 394 students. Its clearest academic strength is all-grades ELA: 52% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, about 3 percentage points above the state’s 49%. The most important concern is mathematics: just 10% were proficient, compared with 38% statewide, a gap of 29 percentage points; grade 11 math was also 22 points below the state.
Because there is only one high school in the list, there is no meaningful school-to-school comparison or separate top and bottom performer. Vasquez’s results vary considerably by subject: all-grades ELA was slightly above the state, while mathematics was 29 points below and science was 15 points below. Grade 11 ELA was 5 points below the state, even though the all-grades result was higher. Reported completion outcomes were much stronger: the graduation rate was 100%, versus 88% statewide and 46% districtwide, and the dropout rate was 0%, versus 8% statewide and 22% districtwide. Chronic absenteeism was 20%, 2 points above the state’s 18%, but 11 points below the district’s 31%.
Proficiency improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, especially in ELA: it rose from 29% to 52%, a 23-point gain, while the state-relative gap shifted from 20 points below to 3 points above. Math rose from 3% to 10%, and science from 15% to 21%, but both remained below state results. SchoolDigger ranked Vasquez 1,332 of 2,137 schools (38th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026, up from 1,640 of 2,162 (24th percentile, 1 star) the previous year. Context figures include a student–teacher ratio of 17.8 in 2024–2025 and 68% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; statewide, all California students receive free school meals.
