Summary

Azusa High is a 1,609-student school serving grades 9–12 in Azusa, California, and is part of Azusa Unified. Graduation is a bright spot: 93% of students graduated in 2025–2026, compared with 92% districtwide and 88% statewide. But 31% of students were chronically absent, higher than the district’s 27% and the state’s 18%; the most important concern is that high absenteeism persists alongside strong graduation results.

English language arts is the school’s clearest academic strength relative to its district, while mathematics is its largest gap with the state. In 2025–2026, 45% were proficient in ELA—12 points above the district but 5 below California. In math, 18% were proficient, 6 points below the district and 20 below the state; science proficiency was 26%, 6 points above the district but 10 below the state. Among the 10 nearby schools listed, Azusa ranked sixth in ELA and fourth in math, and its science result was around the middle of schools with reported scores. Absenteeism at nearby comprehensive high schools was lower: 10% at Glendora High, 14% at Charter Oak High, 16% at Covina High, and 15% at Northview High. The nearby academic comparison includes continuation schools, which may serve different student populations.

Scores have not improved steadily: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA fell from 48% to 45%, math from 19% to 18%, while science rose from 19% to 26% after peaking at 30% in 2023–2024. SchoolDigger ranks Azusa at the 40th percentile with 2 stars statewide, down from the 66th percentile in 2023–2024. Its student-teacher ratio is 20.5, and 89% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the second-highest reported rate among nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show a relative strength for homeless students, at the 63rd percentile versus 40th overall, and a lower result for military-connected students, at the 13th percentile.
