Summary:
The Tracy Joint Unified School District operates five high schools in the Tracy, California area, serving grades 9-12, with three large comprehensive schools and two smaller alternative education programs for a total enrollment over 5,300 students.
Among the comprehensive high schools, John C. Kimball High stands out as the top performer, ranking in the 77th percentile statewide with the district's highest graduation rate (96%) and strongest academic results, particularly in English. Merrill F. West High and Tracy High also post graduation rates above the state average, though academic proficiency across the Tracy Joint Unified district lags behind California averages, with math being a particular challenge area.
The district's two alternative schools, George and Evelyn Stein Continuation and Duncan-Russell Community Day, serve a small fraction of students but face significant hurdles, including very high chronic absenteeism and low academic proficiency, despite much higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios, highlighting the distinct challenges and resource needs of these specialized educational settings.
