Summary

Escalon High is a public high school in Escalon, California, serving grades 9–12 with 815 students in the Escalon Unified district. Its academic results vary by subject: English language arts (ELA) is above state and district levels, while math and science remain below the state. The strongest outcome is graduation: 99% of students graduate, compared with 88% statewide.

ELA is Escalon’s clearest academic strength, while math is its largest gap with California. In 2025–2026, 56% were proficient in ELA—7 percentage points above the state and 14 above the district. Math proficiency was 30%, 8 points below the state and 3 below the district; science was also 30%, 6 points below the state and 1 below the district. Among eight nearby regular high schools serving grades 9–12 with reported scores, Escalon was above the group average in ELA and math, and around average in science. Its overall SchoolDigger standing is more middle-of-the-pack: 59th percentile and 3 stars, ranking fifth among ten nearby schools with current rankings.

Math and science have improved substantially since 2022–2023, rising by 11 and 13 percentage points, respectively, though both remain below state proficiency. ELA has been nearly flat, changing by less than a point. SchoolDigger’s English Language Learner Students ranking signals a notable concern: the school was at the 5th percentile in 2023–2024, down from the 99th percentile in 2018–2019; no later ranking is reported. For Special Education Students, the ranking rose from the 0th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 40th in 2025–2026, still below the school’s overall 59th percentile. Escalon’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 21.7:1, around the middle of nearby schools, and 48% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year.
