Summary:
Shasta Union High includes five high schools serving grades 9–12, from comprehensive campuses to a continuation school and a small academy. In 2025–2026, four schools were above the state in English language arts (ELA) and science, while math results varied more. The clearest difference for families is Pioneer Continuation High: it scored 18% in ELA, 6% in math and 9% in science, each well below state results. Its results were 32, 32 and 27 percentage points below the state, respectively. The most important finding is that Pioneer’s results are far below those of the area’s other four schools in all three subjects.
Shasta High and Shasta Collegiate Academy are effectively tied for the top ELA result, at about 72% each—23 points above the state. Shasta High leads science at 49%, while Enterprise High leads math at 42%, about 3 points above the state and 5 above the district. Foothill High also exceeds state results in all three subjects, though its math result is close to the state level. SchoolDigger ranks Shasta High highest among these schools (82nd percentile) and Pioneer lowest (16th percentile).
Recent changes point to different school trajectories: Enterprise gained 22 points in ELA, 10 in math and 13 in science from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, moving from below to above the state in all three. Foothill and Collegiate declined in each subject; Collegiate nevertheless remains an ELA standout and has the second-highest science result, but its math score is below the state. For context, the four comprehensive schools report free/reduced lunch eligible shares for 2024–2025 ranging from 45% at Foothill to 66% at Enterprise; Enterprise had the highest share but also the largest gains. Pioneer is a continuation school, and Collegiate and Pioneer have enrollments of 76 and 215, respectively, so comparisons should account for differences in school type and size.
