Summary

Calaveras High is a public high school serving about 700 students in grades 8-12 in San Andreas, part of the Calaveras Unified district, which faces broader academic challenges across the state.

The school presents a mixed picture: it excels at graduating students, with a 94% graduation rate that outpaces the state average, but struggles with academic proficiency, particularly in English, where its scores are significantly lower than nearby schools like Amador High and Bret Harte Union High. Chronic absenteeism, though improving from pandemic highs, remains a concern at 30%, and performance for students in special education has seen a sharp and troubling decline in recent years.

Compared to schools in neighboring districts, Calaveras High operates with lower per-student funding and a higher student-to-teacher ratio. While it is the stronger option within its own district compared to alternatives like Gold Strike High, the comparison with higher-performing, better-resourced schools like Bret Harte suggests targeted support in literacy, special education, and attendance could help address its core challenges.
