High Schools in Esparto Unified

The Esparto Unified school district in rural Yolo County operates two high schools, Esparto High and Madison Community High, which serve very different student populations and show contrasting performance.

Esparto High, the main comprehensive school, excels at keeping students on track to graduate, with a 98.5% graduation rate that is well above the state average, though its test scores in math and science are below state benchmarks. In stark contrast, the much smaller Madison Community High serves only about 10 students and faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism and lower graduation rates, with limited recent academic data available.

For families, this highlights two distinct educational environments within the same Esparto Unified district. While the district's overall graduation rate is strong, the significant gap in resources and outcomes between the two schools is notable, with Esparto High receiving more funding per student. Parents may want to investigate the specific support programs at Esparto High that contribute to its high graduation success and inquire about the specialized services and recent academic progress at Madison Community High.
