High Schools in Shasta Union High

The Shasta Union High district serves grades 9-12 in Northern California with five high schools, including traditional, continuation, and collegiate academy models, where overall academic performance exceeds state averages.

Among these schools, Foothill High and Shasta Collegiate Academy stand out as top performers, both ranking in the 88th percentile statewide with graduation rates above 97%. Shasta High also performs strongly, while Enterprise High has seen a notable drop in its ranking year-over-year. The small Shasta Collegiate Academy achieves exceptional English scores despite a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.

Parents should note that Pioneer Continuation High, which serves a distinct at-risk population, faces severe academic and attendance challenges, ranking in the bottom 5% of state schools. The district's traditional high schools consistently outperform California averages in graduation and dropout rates, though chronic absenteeism varies widely from 17.6% at Shasta High to 71.0% at Pioneer. Mathematics, while still above the state average, presents a relative area for improvement across the district compared to its strong English and science results.
