High Schools in Bishop Unified

The Bishop Unified school district in California is home to three high schools: Bishop Union High, Palisade Glacier High (Continuation), and Bishop Independent Study. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and offer a range of educational opportunities.

Bishop Union High stands out as the largest and highest-performing high school in the district, with a four-year graduation rate of 94.8% and a low dropout rate of 2.2%. The school's academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts, exceeds the district and state averages. In contrast, Palisade Glacier High (Continuation) and Bishop Independent Study face greater challenges, with lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates, as well as significantly lower academic proficiency levels.

The data also reveals disparities in student demographics and socioeconomic factors across the three high schools. Palisade Glacier High (Continuation) and Bishop Independent Study have higher percentages of Native American and Hispanic students, as well as a higher proportion of students from low-income families. These differences highlight the need for equitable access to quality education and resources across the Bishop Unified school district.
