Summary

Boynton High is a small public high school serving 163 students in grades 9-12 within the Campbell Union High district in San Jose, a district that is generally well-regarded statewide.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science dramatically lower than both the district and state averages; for example, only 11% of students are proficient in English compared to 66% in the district. The school also has an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of over 72%, which is more than five times the district average and similar to rates at known continuation schools like New Valley Continuation High. Despite these struggles, the school maintains a very low student-teacher ratio and spends nearly $39,000 per student, which is considerably more than higher-performing schools like Westmont High or Lynbrook High in the area.

Boynton High's profile, including its small size, high-need student population, and specific performance patterns, suggests it may function as an alternative education setting. Its graduation rate has improved to 83% but remains below the district's 94% average, and its statewide ranking has declined over the past decade. A positive note is the school's low dropout rate of 1.1%, which is better than the state average, indicating success in retaining students who face substantial barriers to education.
