High Schools in Beverly Hills Unified

The Beverly Hills Unified district operates two high schools for grades 9-12: the large, comprehensive Beverly Hills High and the very small Moreno High (Continuation), which serves as an alternative education program.

Beverly Hills High is a consistently high-performing school, ranking in the top 20% of California high schools with a 93% graduation rate that exceeds the state average. It outperforms state averages in all core subjects, particularly in English, though its science scores are closer to the state norm. The school has a lower chronic absenteeism rate than the state average and serves a more economically diverse student population than some might expect for the area.

In contrast, Moreno High (Continuation) has only six students and faces significant challenges with attendance. It functions very differently, with much higher per-student spending reflecting the specialized support needed for its student population, and it lacks recent state ranking data due to its small size and alternative focus. The district's overall high ranking is driven by strong performance across all its schools, not just the high school level.
