Summary

Kingsburg Independent Study High is a 9–12 school with 67 students in Kingsburg, California, and is part of the Kingsburg Joint Union High district. Its 2025–2026 results show very low proficiency in all three tested subjects, making academic performance the school’s most important concern.

ELA is the school’s relative strength, but scores remain low: in 2025–2026, 28% of students were proficient in ELA, compared with 49% statewide and 59% in the district; math proficiency was 0%, versus 38% statewide and 37% in the district; and science was 4%, versus 36% statewide and in the district. Among nearby schools with reported results, the averages were 33% in ELA, 18% in math, and 17% in science. The school was around the middle in ELA, tied with Selma Independent for the lowest math result, and third-lowest in science. Attendance has improved, with chronic absenteeism falling from 54% in 2021–2022 to 21% in 2025–2026, but the latest graduation rate was 77%, below the state’s 88% and district’s 95%.

Results have weakened overall since 2022–2023, although ELA rose 5 points from its prior-year low: across the four reported years, ELA fell 19 points, math fell 6 points, and science fell 8 points. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 15th percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026, down from the 46th percentile and 2 stars in 2021–2022. Its ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from the 40th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 7th in 2024–2025 and 2025–2026; its ranking for Male Students fell from the 32nd percentile in 2020–2021 and 2021–2022 to the 8th in 2024–2025. These SchoolDigger rankings reflect how well the school serves those groups. The school also had the highest nearby student–teacher ratio: 32.3 in 2024–2025, compared with the nearby average of 16.3. In that same year, 88% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the nearby average of 86%; this is context, not an explanation of the results.
