Summary

Los Molinos High is a small, rural public high school serving about 200 students in grades 9-12 within the Los Molinos Unified district, and it stands out for its remarkable academic improvement and particular strength in English Language Arts.

The school has made an impressive recovery, jumping from a state ranking in the 21st percentile in 2021 to the 71st percentile in 2025, now outperforming nearby comprehensive high schools like Corning Union High and Orland High. Its 61% proficiency rate in English is notably higher than both the state average and these neighboring schools. This success is supported by significantly higher per-student spending compared to the area, and the school shows exceptional effectiveness with its student subgroups, ranking in the 80th percentile for Hispanic students and the 73rd percentile for students from low-income families.

While Los Molinos High excels in English and science, its math scores are below the state average, indicating an area for potential growth. Chronic absenteeism, though improving, remains a concern to address. Overall, the school's small size and focused resources appear to create a successful environment, especially when contrasted with the much lower outcomes seen at local continuation schools such as North Valley High (Continuation) and Salisbury High (Continuation).
