Summary

Canyon Ridge High is a small public high school serving 218 students in grades 9-12 within the Hesperia Unified district, which ranks in the bottom 14% of districts statewide.

The school faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 3% of California high schools with alarmingly low academic proficiency: only 6% of students are proficient in English and just 1% in math, far below district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally high at 79%, and the dropout rate of 14% is nearly triple the district average. Despite these struggles, the school spends over $50,000 per student, which is significantly more than most nearby schools. Interestingly, its 85% graduation rate is close to the state average, creating a disconnect from its academic results.

When compared to nearby options, the differences are stark. Schools like Oak Hills High and Hesperia High—located just a couple of miles away—show much stronger performance across all metrics. Even similar-sized charter schools nearby, such as Summit Leadership Academy-High Desert and Altus Schools Mirus Charter, achieve better academic outcomes with lower per-student spending. The school has shown a notable historical decline in performance over the past decade.
