Summary

Hesperia High is a grades 9–12 school in Hesperia, California, with 2,405 students and part of Hesperia Unified. Its 2025–2026 graduation rate was 97%, above the district’s 94% and the state’s 88%, while 41% of students were chronically absent, compared with 32% in the district and 18% statewide. The main academic takeaway is that ELA proficiency is now above the state average, but math and science proficiency remain below it.

Hesperia High is comparatively strong among nearby conventional high schools, even though its math and science results trail state rates. In 2025–2026, 53% of students were proficient in ELA, 23% in math, and 27% in science. ELA was 4 percentage points above the state, while math was 15 points below and science 9 points below; all three subjects were above the district by 22, 4, and 7 points, respectively. Among nearby grades 9–12 schools with results for that year, Hesperia ranked third of six in ELA, second in math, and fourth in science. Oak Hills High led in all three subjects, while Adelanto High and Sultana High also placed ahead in science. Completion is another strength: Hesperia High’s 3% dropout rate was below the district’s 4% and the state’s 8%.

Results have improved from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026: proficiency rose 9 points in ELA, 6 in math, and 10 in science, though the gains were not steady year to year. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking rose from the 35th statewide percentile in 2021–2022 to the 50th in 2025–2026; its latest rating is 2 stars. The student-teacher ratio was 22.7 in 2024–2025, and 77% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year—higher than six of 10 nearby schools with the same measure. Some SchoolDigger subgroup rankings differ notably from the overall standing: African American students ranked at the 31st percentile in 2025–2026, compared with 50th overall, after 56th the prior year. English Language Learner students ranked at the 82nd percentile in 2023–2024, compared with 51st overall that year.
