Summary

Amistad High (Continuation) is a public high school in Indio, serving grades 9–12 in Desert Sands Unified and enrolling 192 students. Its 2025–26 results show that students are facing a major academic challenge: proficiency was 7% in English Language Arts, 4% in math, and 6% in science. The most important finding is that results were substantially below both state and district levels in all three subjects.

Compared with nearby schools, the school’s test results are near the bottom: it ranked second-lowest among eight schools with results in each subject, and had the lowest results among schools in its district. Its proficiency was 35 points below the nearby-school average in English Language Arts, 13 points below in math, and 17 points below in science. The school’s strongest comparison is its graduation rate: 91% in 2025–26, 3 points above the state’s 88%, though 4 points below the district’s 96%. A concern is chronic absenteeism, at 76%, compared with 29% in the district and 18% statewide.

Progress over time is mixed: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, math proficiency rose 4 points and science rose 2, while English Language Arts fell 1 point; the gaps with the state widened in English Language Arts and science, while math’s gap narrowed slightly. SchoolDigger gave the school 0 stars and an 8th-percentile ranking in 2025–26, up from the 4th percentile in 2023–24 but still second-lowest among nearby schools with rankings. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 12.6, the lowest among nearby schools reporting a ratio. In that year, 95% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the highest share among nearby schools reporting the same measure. SchoolDigger’s English Language Learner subgroup ranking also showed sharp swings: 53rd percentile in 2021–22, compared with 9th percentile overall, then 7th in 2022–23 and 21st in 2023–24, compared with 4th overall.
