Summary

Summit Public School: Shasta is a highly-ranked, 9-12 grade public charter high school in Daly City, serving 458 students with a consistent record of academic excellence.

The school stands out for its strong academic results, particularly in English Language Arts where its proficiency rate is the highest among nearby schools, and its exceptional 99% graduation rate with 0% dropout. It achieves these top-tier outcomes—ranking in the 90th percentile statewide—while spending significantly less per student than most comparison schools and operating with a higher student-to-teacher ratio. This demonstrates a notably efficient and effective model. Furthermore, the school maintains a low chronic absenteeism rate, which correlates with its high achievement, and it shows particular strength in supporting economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to other local options like El Camino High and Westmoor High, Summit Shasta's performance is consistently at the top. Its home Summit Public School: Shasta District ranks in the 93rd percentile, outperforming the larger Jefferson Union High district. While there is room for growth in math and science scores and in supporting specific student subgroups, the school's five-year record of sustained high performance makes it a benchmark for academic success in the area.
