Summary

Glen A. Wilson High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 to approximately 1,456 students in Hacienda Heights, California, as part of the Hacienda la Puente Unified school district, and it stands out for achieving strong academic results while serving a diverse community.

The school consistently outperforms most other local high schools in core subjects, with English and math proficiency rates significantly higher than those at nearby schools like Los Altos High and La Puente High. It maintains an excellent 95.5% graduation rate and a very low dropout rate of 0.6%, which is better than the district and state averages and notably stronger than John A. Rowland High in the neighboring Rowland Unified district. Furthermore, Glen A. Wilson High is exceptionally effective in supporting English Language Learners and students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, ranking among the top schools in the state for these groups.

While the school's overall performance is high, some areas, like science proficiency, have seen recent declines, and its statewide ranking has dipped slightly. However, it achieves these strong outcomes while spending less per student than some other schools in its own district, such as William Workman High, suggesting efficient use of resources. The dramatic performance gap between Wilson and local continuation schools also highlights its success in keeping students on the main path to graduation.
