High Schools in Oroville Union High

The Oroville Union High district in California includes three public high schools serving grades 9-12, which together educate about 2,225 students in a community with high economic need.

Among these schools, Oroville High shows the strongest academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts where nearly half of students are proficient, despite serving a student population with significant financial need. Las Plumas High is the largest school and maintains consistent graduation rates above 90%. Both of these comprehensive high schools graduate over 90% of their students, which is a notable strength, though mathematics proficiency is a challenge across the district, with rates well below the state average.

Prospect High (Continuation) serves a different purpose as an alternative school for at-risk students, with a much smaller enrollment, significantly more funding per student, and a lower student-teacher ratio. It faces distinct challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism and lower graduation rates, reflecting the intensive support its student population requires. For parents, the key considerations are the strong graduation track records at the two main high schools, the relative strength in English at Oroville High, and the specialized, resource-intensive environment at Prospect for students needing an alternative path.
