Summary

Esparto High is a public high school serving about 287 students in grades 9-12 in the rural community of Esparto, California, as part of the Esparto Unified school district.

The school's standout strength is its exceptional graduation rate, consistently above 96% and outperforming the state average, which shows a strong commitment to helping students complete their diplomas. However, there is a significant gap between this success and students' academic proficiency, particularly in math and science, where scores are well below state averages. This pattern differs from a school like Davis Senior High, which excels in both graduation and academics, and is more pronounced than at Pioneer High. The school also faces a challenge with chronic absenteeism, though its rate is much better than nearby continuation schools like Cache Creek High (Continuation).

Within its own district, Esparto High is the stronger performer compared to Madison Community High. It operates with higher per-student spending than many comparable schools, which may reflect the high level of student need. For parents, this paints a picture of a school that is very effective at supporting students through to graduation but is working to strengthen core academic achievement, especially in mathematics.
