Summary

Hesperia High is a large, traditional public high school serving grades 9-12 to 2,405 students in the Hesperia Unified district, and it stands out for its strong upward trajectory and exceptional graduation success despite serving a community with significant economic needs.

The school is on a clear path of improvement, rising to perform better than over half of all high schools in California, and it consistently outperforms its own district averages in English, Math, and Science. Perhaps most impressively, Hesperia High achieves a remarkable 98.1% graduation rate, which is well above state and district averages, even while facing a high rate of student absenteeism. The school shows particular strength in supporting English Language Learners and students experiencing homelessness, where its statewide rankings are exceptionally high.

When compared to nearby options, Hesperia High offers a compelling balance of academic support and successful outcomes. It performs significantly better than other comprehensive schools in the area like Sultana High and notably outpaces local charter schools such as Alta Vista Innovation High and Options for Youth-Victor Valley Charter in both graduation rates and test scores. This makes it a standout choice for families seeking a supportive and effective traditional high school environment in the region.
