High Schools in Fullerton Joint Union High

The Fullerton Joint Union High School District consists of eight high schools serving grades 9-12 in the Fullerton area of California, with a mix of large comprehensive schools and smaller alternative programs.

Overall, the district performs well above state averages in academics and graduation rates, but there is significant variation between schools. Troy High stands out as the top performer with exceptional test scores and a very low dropout rate, while Sunny Hills High boasts the district's highest graduation rate. Other comprehensive schools like La Habra High, Fullerton Union High, and Sonora High show solid performance, with Sonora High performing relatively well despite serving many students from lower-income families.

Schools facing greater challenges include Buena Park High, which has lower test scores, and the alternative schools, which serve distinct student populations. La Sierra High (Alternative) shows moderate academic success, but La Vista High (Continuation) struggles with low proficiency and high absenteeism despite receiving the most funding per student. A key takeaway is that mathematics proficiency is a district-wide area for improvement, even at the highest-performing schools.
