Summary:
The Modesto City High district serves grades 9-12 across eight traditional and alternative high schools in California's Central Valley, with a total enrollment of over 15,300 students.
Among these schools, James C. Enochs High stands out as the top performer, leading the district in test scores, graduation rate, and attendance, and ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide. Fred C. Beyer High also shows strong academic results, particularly in English, despite serving a student population with greater economic need. Other schools like Modesto High, Thomas Downey High, and Peter Johansen High face more significant challenges, with academic proficiency rates generally below state averages.
The district's graduation rates are a strength, with most schools exceeding the state average. However, chronic absenteeism is a widespread concern, affecting a quarter of students on average and correlating with lower academic performance. Mathematics is a particular area for improvement, as no school in the district meets the state proficiency average. The Robert Elliott Alternative Education Center serves a distinct high-need population and operates with much lower academic scores and significantly higher absenteeism, reflecting its specialized role within the district.
