Summary:
The Hesperia Unified School District serves six public high schools in the Hesperia, California area, educating students in grades 9-12 across both comprehensive and alternative educational settings.
Among these schools, Oak Hills High stands out as the top performer in academic rankings and English proficiency, while Hesperia High shows impressive improvement, boasting the district's highest graduation rate and strongest math and science scores. In contrast, the smaller alternative schools, particularly Mojave High, face significant challenges with very low academic proficiency and high chronic absenteeism, despite receiving more funding per student.
Overall, the Hesperia Unified district achieves graduation rates above the state average, but struggles with academic proficiency, especially in mathematics, and has a district-wide issue with chronic student absenteeism that far exceeds state averages. Parents should note the wide variation in school environments and outcomes, from the comprehensive programs at Oak Hills, Hesperia, and Sultana High to the specialized, high-support settings of the alternative schools.
