Summary

Sultana High is a large public high school serving grades 9-12 to approximately 2,100 students in the Hesperia Unified school district, representing a middle-tier option in California with a student population facing increasing economic needs.

The school presents a mixed academic picture: its students graduate at an excellent rate of 97.1%, far exceeding state averages, and perform nearly at the state average in English Language Arts. However, proficiency in mathematics is a significant challenge, at less than half the state average. Chronic absenteeism is also higher than the state average, though the school has made recent improvements. Compared to other local schools, Sultana and Hesperia High are the stronger comprehensive options, while alternative schools like Canyon Ridge High and Mojave High have much lower graduation rates and far higher chronic absenteeism.

Notably, the school's effectiveness varies for different student groups; it shows strong support for English Learners but has struggled to show similar gains for students in special education programs. While the school's overall state ranking has declined in recent years, it spends more per student than many area schools, suggesting resources are available to address its specific challenges in math and attendance.
