Summary:

Coalinga-Huron Unified has 10 schools—five elementary, two middle and three high schools—serving families in the Coalinga-Huron area. In 2025–2026, every reported school-level result in English language arts (ELA), mathematics and science was below the California rate, although outcomes vary widely from one local school to another. The most important takeaway is that even the local subject leaders remain below state proficiency rates.

The local leaders differ by subject: Coalinga High had the highest ELA result at 39%, Nell Dawson Elementary led mathematics at 31%, and Sunset Elementary led science at 21%. Those results were still 10, 8 and 15 percentage points below the state, respectively. The lowest reported ELA and math results were at Cambridge High—2% and 0%; Cambridge and Chesnut High (Continuation) both had 0% in science. The high-school picture extends beyond tests: Coalinga High’s graduation rate was 94%, compared with 78% at Cambridge and 63% at Chesnut, while chronic absenteeism was 31%, 84% and 79%, respectively.

Local school averages improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 in ELA and mathematics, rising by about 1 and 2 percentage points; science rose about 1 point, less than the state’s 3-point increase. Changes varied: Cambridge ELA fell 11 points, while Chesnut rose 11; Huron Elementary mathematics rose 8 points. Among middle schools, Coalinga Middle led Huron Middle in all-grades ELA, 27% to 10%, while Huron led in 8th-grade math. Their student–teacher ratios were 19.3 and 17.4; their free/reduced lunch eligible rates for 2024–2025 were 79% and 90%. SchoolDigger ranking percentiles rose from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026 at Coalinga Middle and Chesnut, but fell at Sunset and Huron Middle. These figures provide context for comparing schools, not an explanation for their results.
