High Schools in Antioch Unified

Antioch Unified has five high schools: three serving grades 9–12 and two continuation schools serving grades 10–12. In 2025–26 grade 11, the schools’ average proficiency was 40% in English, 13% in math, and 14% in science, compared with state results of 57%, 32%, and 38%. That leaves the area’s average below the state in every subject, but the differences between schools—especially in English and math—are substantial.

Dozier-Libbey Medical High stands out in English and math: 65% and 33% of grade-11 students were proficient, about 8 and 1 percentage points above the state, and it led the next-highest school by 15 and 17 points. Bidwell Continuation High had the lowest reported grade-11 results in all three subjects—23% in English, 5% in math, and 8% in science—and trailed the state by 35, 27, and 30 points. Deer Valley High led reported science results at 24%, still 15 points below the state; no 2025–26 grade-11 science result was supplied for Dozier-Libbey. SchoolDigger ranked Dozier-Libbey highest among the five, at 602 of 2,137 schools (72nd percentile), and Antioch High lowest, at 1,693 (21st percentile).

Average results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26: English rose 4 points, math 2, and science 5 across the same four schools, while the gaps to state averages narrowed modestly. Gains differed by school: Live Oak High (Continuation) gained 21 points in English, 5 in math, and 9 in science, but its results remained below the state; Dozier-Libbey’s English fell 7 points as its math rose 8. In 2024–25, free/reduced lunch eligible shares ranged from 81% at Dozier-Libbey to 90% at Antioch, but the figures do not line up neatly with scores: Deer Valley had 83% eligible and the second-highest English result. Chronic absenteeism also exceeded the state’s 18% at every school, from 25% at Dozier-Libbey to 50% at Bidwell.
