Summary

Holtville High is a 9–12 school in Holtville, California, serving 516 students in Holtville Unified. Its most important academic takeaway is mixed performance: students do better in English than the state average, but math proficiency is substantially lower than both the state and district results.

English Language Arts is Holtville’s clearest strength: 56% of students met the standard, compared with 49% statewide and 53% in the district. Math is the sharpest gap: 23% met the standard, 15 percentage points below the state and 14 points below the district. Science proficiency was 26%, also below the state and district. Among Holtville and four nearby comprehensive high schools, Holtville ranked second in ELA and science and third in math; its ELA result was 2 points above that group’s average, and its math result was above the group average. Graduation is another strength: 99% of students graduated in 2025–2026, compared with 88% statewide and 99% in the district.

Results over time show some recovery, but math remains a concern. Math proficiency rose from 11% in 2023–2024 to 23% in 2025–2026, yet remained 6 points below its 2022–2023 level; its gap to the state widened by 9 points over those years. ELA rose 4 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026. SchoolDigger ranks Holtville 1,045th of 2,137 California schools, at the 51st percentile with 3 stars; its percentile has risen 11 points since 2023–2024. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 15.5, the lowest among the four nearby comprehensive schools, and 74% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well Holtville serves Special Education Students is notably low: the school ranked at the 4th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with its overall 51st percentile. Its ranking for how well it serves White Students rose from the 24th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 56th in 2025–2026.
