Summary:
The Escalon Unified school district operates two public high schools for grades 9-12: the comprehensive Escalon High and the smaller, alternative Vista High (Continuation), together serving over 800 students.
Escalon High is the district's primary high school and shows notable strengths, including a very high 98.5% graduation rate and above-average performance in English Language Arts. It has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking over recent years. In contrast, Vista High (Continuation) serves a much smaller group of about 21 students who benefit from more intensive support, evidenced by a very low student-teacher ratio and a perfect record of preventing dropouts, though chronic absenteeism is a significant challenge.
For families, the data indicates the district is highly effective at helping students graduate, with an overall rate far exceeding the state average. While Escalon High excels in graduation and English, math proficiency is an area for growth. Vista High plays a crucial role in re-engaging at-risk students, providing them with the personalized attention needed to stay in school and earn a diploma.
