Summary

Fullerton Union High is a public high school in Fullerton, California, serving 1,880 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Fullerton Joint Union High district. Its 96% graduation rate is a clear positive, but test results show a more mixed picture. The most important takeaway is that English language arts is the school’s strongest tested subject, while math and science both lag state and district results.

English is stronger than the other tested subjects, but the school still trails many nearby high schools. In 2025–2026, 61% of students were proficient in ELA, 11 points above the state but 5 below the district and 5 below the average for six nearby conventional high schools. Math proficiency was 34%, below the state’s 38% and the district’s result. Science was weaker still: 32% proficiency, 4 points below the state and 13 below the district; the school was also 13 points below the nearby conventional-school average. Graduation provides a counterpoint: the school’s 96% rate was 1 point above the district and 8 above the state.

Results have softened over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA fell 7 points and science fell 4, while math was nearly unchanged and slipped further behind the state. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 76th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 64th in 2025–2026; its current 3-star rating is below the district’s 4 stars. The school’s 26:1 student-teacher ratio was the highest among nearby schools reporting a ratio, compared with 25.2:1 at the next-highest school. In 2024–2025, 63% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves Special Education students was at the 22nd percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 74th percentile in 2023–2024, compared with the school’s overall 64th percentile.
