Summary

Laguna High is a very small public high school serving just 57 students in grades 9-12 within the West Sonoma County Union High district in Forestville, CA, but it faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 4% of all California high schools.

The school's academic performance is extremely low, with 0% of students proficient in math and science and only 13.64% proficient in English, which is far below nearby schools like Analy High (67.51% English) and Windsor High. Furthermore, a staggering 93.7% of students are chronically absent, a rate nearly four times the state average, indicating a severe engagement problem that likely contributes to the poor academic outcomes.

Despite having small class sizes and the highest per-student spending in the area at $23,785, the results are not translating to student success, as graduation rates are unstable and dropout rates are high. This contrasts sharply with other small, alternative schools in the region, such as Big Picture Learning Windsor, which has a 0% chronic absenteeism rate and a 95% graduation rate, suggesting Laguna High's struggles may be related to systemic issues or a specialized student population needing different support.
