Summary:
Five high schools in San Jacinto Unified serve grades 9–12, except San Jacinto Leadership Academy - Magnet, which serves grades 6–12; enrollment ranges from 36 to 2,388 students. In 2025–26, the schools’ unweighted average proficiency was 44% in English language arts (ELA) and 30% in science, compared with state rates of 49% and 36%. The clearest shared challenge is mathematics: the school average was 17%, 22 percentage points below the state’s 38%, and every school scored below the state.
San Jacinto Middle College High led in all-grades ELA at 74%, 24 points above the state, and was just ahead of the Magnet school in science, 44% to 43%. The Magnet school also stood out, with 63% in ELA and 35% in math—the closest of the five to the state’s 38% math result. At the other end, Mountain View High had the lowest results in all three subjects: 15% in ELA, 2% in math and 9% in science. Its scores were 34, 37 and 27 points below state rates, respectively. Grade 11 results show a similar contrast: the Magnet school led in all three subjects, while Mountain View was lowest.
Recent changes were mixed: the five-school average fell 4 points in ELA from 2024–25 to 2025–26, while rising 1 point in math and 2 in science; Mountain Heights Academy had a particularly sharp 18-point ELA drop alongside gains of 7 points in math and 11 in science. SchoolDigger ranks the Magnet school at the 78th percentile with 4 stars, Middle College at the 69th percentile with 3 stars, and Mountain View at the 13th percentile with 1 star. As additional context, all five report free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–25, with shares from 81% at Middle College to 94% at Mountain View; student-teacher ratios range from 19.2 at Mountain View and San Jacinto High to 45 at Middle College. Because the Magnet school includes middle grades and Middle College has a small enrollment, all-grades comparisons and percentages at these schools warrant some care.
