Summary

Hemet High is a 2,414-student public school serving grades 9–12 in Hemet, California, and part of Hemet Unified. In 2025–26, its graduation rate was 95%, above the district’s 93% and the state’s 88%. But chronic absenteeism was 29%, compared with 28% in the district and 18% statewide. The most important contrast is that strong graduation outcomes coexist with a serious attendance concern: nearly three in ten students were chronically absent.

ELA is the school’s clearest academic strength, while science is its weakest against nearby high schools. In 2025–26, ELA proficiency was 50%, 1 point above the state and 14 points above the district. Math was 20%, 19 points below the state and 1 point below the district; science was 18%, 18 points below the state and 2 below the district. Among eight nearby grades 9–12 schools with results, Hemet High ranked fourth in ELA, third in math and sixth in science. Its results were 10 points above nearby schools’ average in ELA and 6 above in math, but 3 below in science.

Over four reported years, proficiency rose 8 points in ELA, 6 in math and 2 in science; meanwhile, the state’s science gain was 6 points, so Hemet’s science gap widened. ELA reached 55% in 2024–25 before falling to 50% the following year. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 39th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 22.5, and 83% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for special education students fell from the 55th percentile in 2023–24 to the 25th in 2025–26, below the school’s overall percentile. Nearby-school averages use all-grade results, so some comparisons are not strictly like-for-like.
