Summary

Le Grand High is a public high school serving about 480 students in grades 9-12 in the rural community of Le Grand, California, as part of the Le Grand Union High district.

While its academic proficiency scores are below the state average, the school stands out in several key areas, especially when compared to other local options. It boasts an exceptional 98.3% graduation rate and a very low dropout rate, significantly outperforming the state and nearby schools like Merced High and Chowchilla Union High. Furthermore, the school has made remarkable progress in improving student attendance, reducing chronic absenteeism to just 7.6%, which is far better than many surrounding schools and the state average. It also shows particular strength in supporting English Language Learner students, ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide for that group.

An interesting point of comparison is Granada High, a much smaller school in the same district and location with very different outcomes, suggesting it may serve a specialized student population. Le Grand High also operates with higher per-student spending than many traditional high schools in the area. The school's pattern of strong graduation rates and improving attendance, coupled with more modest test scores, is common in schools serving similar communities and highlights its effectiveness in keeping students engaged and on track to graduate.
