Summary:

The Huntington Beach Union High district consists of eight high schools serving grades 9-12 in the coastal Orange County area, with the district itself ranking above average statewide.

Parents will find a district of contrasts, where several large, high-performing schools excel. Fountain Valley High stands out as the top academic school with exceptional test scores and graduation rates, while Huntington Beach High boasts the district's highest graduation rate. Other large schools like Edison High, Marina High, and Westminster High also perform well above state averages, contributing to the district's strong overall graduation and proficiency rates.

However, the district includes smaller schools facing significant challenges. Valley Vista High has alarmingly high dropout and chronic absenteeism rates alongside very low test scores, indicating it serves a highly at-risk student population. Ocean View High and Coast High also perform below district averages, despite Ocean View receiving the highest per-student funding. Interestingly, the highest-performing school has the lowest per-pupil spending, showing that factors beyond funding drive success here.
