Summary:

The three public high schools in Brawley Union High serve grades 9–12, with enrollment ranging from 22 students to 1,863. In 2025–2026, the two schools with reported results had very different proficiency levels: Brawley Union High scored above the state in ELA, while Desert Valley High (Continuation) scored below the state in all three reported subjects. The clearest finding is a substantial divide between those schools: Brawley led Desert Valley by 31 points in ELA, 27 in math, and 21 in science.

Brawley Union High stands out at the top for reported academic results and completion: its 2025–2026 proficiency was 62% in ELA, 34% in math, and 31% in science, and its graduation rate was 98%, compared with 77% at Desert Valley and 88% statewide. Desert Valley was at the bottom among schools with reported test results, with 31% in ELA, 7% in math, and 10% in science. Renaissance stands out for attendance concerns: chronic absenteeism was 92%, compared with 69% at Desert Valley and 20% at Brawley. Renaissance has no supplied ELA or math result, and its science result is suppressed; suppressed does not mean zero.

Recent trends are mixed, so no school shows a uniform rise across subjects. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Desert Valley’s ELA rose from 17% to 31% and science from 4% to 10%, but math fell from 14% to 7%; Brawley’s math rose from 27% to 34%, while its ELA and science dipped. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking moved from 62 to 61 for Brawley and from 17 to 21 for Desert Valley between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026. As context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 71% at Brawley, 81% at Desert Valley, and 82% at Renaissance. Student–teacher ratios were 23.1, 18.7, and 21.1, respectively; these measures describe differences among schools but do not explain their outcomes.
