Summary

Kelseyville High is a public high school serving about 515 students in grades 9-12 in the rural Kelseyville Unified district, where a majority of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

When compared to other comprehensive high schools in Lake County, Kelseyville High has several notable strengths. It maintains a strong 92% graduation rate and has a significantly lower rate of chronic student absenteeism (23.8%) than nearby schools like Upper Lake High (36.8%) and Lower Lake High (42.7%). Academically, its performance in English Language Arts is a relative bright spot, outperforming its own district and several regional peers. The school also operates with moderate per-student spending while achieving these outcomes, suggesting efficient use of resources.

However, the school faces serious academic challenges, particularly in mathematics and science, where proficiency rates are critically low. Support for specific student groups is inconsistent; while the school excels in serving migrant students, it struggles profoundly to support students in Special Education and English Learners. These areas represent urgent needs for improvement, even as the school demonstrates it can achieve success with targeted populations within its challenging regional context.
