Summary

Coleville High is a very small, rural high school serving just 45 students in grades 9-12 within the Eastern Sierra Unified School District.

This school has a unique academic profile, with a major strength in English Language Arts where students significantly outperform both their district and the state average. However, there is a significant challenge in mathematics, where proficiency rates are much lower than these same benchmarks. Despite this imbalance, the school consistently achieves graduation rates above 90%, and it has shown particular effectiveness in supporting male students and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school's very small size means your child will receive a great deal of individual attention, with a very low student-to-teacher ratio.

Parents should note that chronic absenteeism is higher here than the state average, though students who attend regularly find academic success. The school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, likely influenced by the math scores and attendance. With exceptionally high per-student spending, the school has significant resources to address these challenges while maintaining its clear strengths in fostering student graduation and achievement in English.
