Warner Junior/Senior High

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Warner Junior/Senior High is a small, rural school serving about 98 students in grades 7-12 within the Warner Unified district, and it stands out as a consistently stronger performer compared to its district's average in key areas like graduation and test scores.

While the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, it currently sits in the middle range compared to all California schools and performs similarly to nearby Borrego Springs High and Julian High. A particularly bright spot is its recent, dramatic improvement in student attendance; after several years of very high chronic absenteeism, Warner's rate has fallen to an excellent 5.9%, which is now better than most neighboring schools. The school also graduates a significantly higher percentage of its students than the district average, though it does face challenges with some students leaving school entirely.

Academically, Warner students generally outperform their Warner Unified peers in English, math, and science, with its 7th graders often scoring close to or above state averages. The school operates with a favorable student-teacher ratio and has higher per-student spending than some comparable schools, suggesting resources are available to support learning. For parents, Warner represents a school that is effectively serving its community within a struggling district, showing notable recent progress in keeping students in class and guiding them to graduation.
