Summary
Roselawn High serves 181 students in grades 9–12 in Turlock, California, as part of Turlock Unified. In 2025–2026, its reported graduation rate was 95%, but chronic absenteeism was 68%, far above the district’s 22% and the state’s 18%. The most important finding is the sharp contrast between strong graduation outcomes and extremely low test proficiency across all three subjects.
Roselawn’s test results were below the state, district and nearby conventional high schools in every subject. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 16% in English language arts (ELA), 2% in math and 1% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%, and district results of 42%, 29% and 26%. Its scores were also below the seven nearby conventional high schools’ averages of 52% in ELA, 20% in math and 26% in science; Roselawn had the lowest result among those peers in each subject. ELA is its strongest result relative to the state and district, while math is closest to the peer average, but all three remain far behind. Chronic absenteeism is also about 51 percentage points above the peer average. In contrast, the graduation rate matches the district and is 8 points above the state.
Over time, ELA proficiency rose from 7% in 2022–2023 to 16% in 2025–2026, while math changed from 0% to 2% and science fell from 3% to 1%. The state gap narrowed by about 7 points in ELA, but widened by about 1 point in math and 7 points in science. SchoolDigger ranked Roselawn in the 11th percentile statewide and gave it 1 star in 2025–2026; its percentile fell from 17 the year before. SchoolDigger’s Special Education Students subgroup percentile dropped from 17 in 2023–2024 to 2 in 2025–2026, a notable decline in the school’s standing for serving that group. Context includes an 18.6 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 79% of students free/reduced lunch eligible that year; these are observations, not explanations for the results.
