Summary:
Modesto City High includes eight high schools serving grades 9–12: seven enroll between 1,609 and 2,346 students, while Robert Elliott Alternative Education Center enrolls 479. In 2025–2026, the schools’ average proficiency was 45% in English, 22% in math and 26% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%. The clearest takeaway is that results vary widely by school, and the group averages fall below the state in all three subjects—especially in math, by 16 points.
James C. Enochs High stands out at the top, with 65% proficient in English, 39% in math and 45% in science; it leads the next-highest school by about 4, 4 and 12 points, respectively. Enochs is above the state in English and science and about level with it in math. Joseph A. Gregori High is also strong, with 61% in English and 34% in math, while Fred C. Beyer High ranks third in all three subjects. At the other end, Elliott records 3% in English, 4% in math and 8% in science—about 34, 9 and 9 points below the next-lowest school, Grace M. Davis High.
Average results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 by about 1 point in English, 3 in math and 3 in science. The group narrowed its gap to the state in English and math, but fell further behind in science as the state improved faster. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rankings rose for Gregori, from the 58th to the 65th percentile, while they fell for Beyer, from the 70th to the 62nd, and Davis, from the 42nd to the 28th. The 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 46% at Enochs, 59% at Gregori, 62% at Beyer and 88% at Elliott; Beyer’s strong results and Gregori’s performance show that this measure alone does not describe a school’s outcomes. Elliott is an alternative education center and much smaller than the other schools, so its results may not be directly comparable.
