Summary

Redondo Union High is a large, top-rated public high school serving about 2,900 students in grades 9-12 within the affluent beach community of Redondo Beach, part of the high-performing Redondo Beach Unified district.

The school is a consistent academic standout, with a near-perfect 99% graduation rate and particularly strong performance in English and Science, where student proficiency far exceeds state averages. It receives a 5-star rating and ranks in the top 10% of all California high schools. The school is notably effective in supporting diverse learners, with exceptional results for students in special education and Hispanic students. A relative area for focus is mathematics, where proficiency, while solid, is lower than at some nearby high-performing schools like Mira Costa High and South High.

When comparing to peers, Redondo Union maintains its high graduation rates but has a higher rate of chronic student absenteeism than some district neighbors, such as West High. The school achieves these strong outcomes efficiently, with per-student spending that is sensible compared to other local schools. Overall, it is a very large, comprehensive school that delivers excellent and stable results for its community, competing closely with other leading schools in the region.
