Summary

Calaveras Hills is a small public high school serving about 105 students in grades 9-12 within the generally high-performing Milpitas Unified district.

The school is currently facing significant challenges, with academic proficiency rates far below district and state averages; for example, only about 2.6% of students were proficient in math in the 2024-2025 school year. A critical issue is chronic absenteeism, with nearly every student missing a substantial portion of the school year, a rate that is ten times higher than the Milpitas Unified average. This creates a stark contrast with nearby comprehensive high schools like Milpitas High and Piedmont Hills High, which have strong academic results and stable attendance.

Despite these struggles, the school has a low student-teacher ratio and spends more per student than Milpitas High. Its performance is also more comparable to other alternative schools in the area, such as Opportunity Youth Academy, though its absenteeism is often higher. The rapid increase in students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch suggests a shift in the population served, and while outcomes are low across most groups, the school has shown historical strength in serving English Language Learner students.
