Summary

Yosemite High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 for about 540 students in Oakhurst, CA, and it stands out as the strongest traditional high school within its Yosemite Unified district, which overall ranks in the bottom 19th percentile in the state.

The school has a remarkable strength in supporting students to graduation, with a 96.9% graduation rate that far exceeds state and district averages, alongside a very low dropout rate. However, it faces significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics where only 7.84% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, and it struggles with high chronic absenteeism at 35.7%. While it outperforms district peers like Evergreen High and Ahwahnee High, its statewide academic ranking has declined in recent years.

When compared to nearby charter schools such as Glacier High School Charter and Minarets Charter High, which serve similar student populations, Yosemite High's academic performance, especially in core subjects, is lower. The school receives more funding per student than other district high schools, but the data suggests a need for targeted improvements in math instruction and addressing attendance to build on its success in keeping students enrolled.
