SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 2,135 California High Schools

Better than 6% of California high schools

Summary

Sierra High is a small grades 9–12 school in Fillmore, serving 64 students in Fillmore Unified. Its 2025–2026 results show low proficiency in all three tested subjects, and chronic absenteeism is also a serious concern: 51% of students were chronically absent, compared with 18% statewide and 16% districtwide. The most important takeaway is that low test results and high absenteeism occur together at Sierra.

Sierra’s proficiency is below state and district results in every subject: ELA is 8%, math 3%, and science 5%, compared with state rates of 49%, 38%, and 36%. Science is Sierra’s closest subject to state and district levels, while math is closest to the nearby-school average. Still, Sierra trails the nearby average by 52 points in ELA, 32 in math, and 39 in science. It is below all eight nearby schools with results in ELA and science; in math, only Renaissance High is lower, at 0%. Only Renaissance has a higher chronic absenteeism rate, at 60%.

Results have not kept pace with rising state scores: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, Sierra’s ELA proficiency fell 12 points, science fell 1 point, and math was essentially flat; the state gap widened in all three subjects. SchoolDigger ranks Sierra at the 6th percentile statewide for 2025–2026, with 0 stars, below every nearby school with a reported rank. The school’s 12.8 student–teacher ratio is among the lowest nearby, compared with a nearby average of 23. Sierra reported 84% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the second-highest share among nearby schools with that measure. These figures provide context, but do not explain the achievement results; Sierra’s small enrollment also means results may reflect a small number of tested students.
