Red Bluff Joint Union High

Summary:

The Red Bluff Joint Union High district consists of two high schools serving grades 9-12 in a predominantly economically disadvantaged area.

The district includes Red Bluff High, the main comprehensive school serving most students, and Salisbury High (Continuation), a much smaller school for students needing an alternative setting. Red Bluff High performs solidly, with graduation rates above 94% and test scores near or above state averages in several subjects, while Salisbury High faces significant challenges with very low test proficiency and high chronic absenteeism, reflecting its mission to serve at-risk youth.

Notably, Salisbury High receives substantially more funding per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio, highlighting the extra resources dedicated to its specialized population. Mathematics is an area for improvement across the district. For families, Red Bluff High demonstrates strong outcomes for the community, particularly its high graduation rate, whereas Salisbury High provides essential support for students who have struggled in traditional classrooms.
