Summary

Schurr High is a large, comprehensive public high school serving grades 9-12 to over 2,100 students in the Montebello Unified school district, where it stands out as the clear academic leader among the district's traditional high schools.

The school has shown impressive recent improvement, climbing to rank in the 67th percentile statewide, which is significantly higher than nearby Montebello High. Schurr High excels in English Language Arts and science, and it is particularly effective in supporting students with special needs and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, as evidenced by its strong graduation rate of over 91%. While mathematics remains an area for growth, scores have improved dramatically in the last year.

Compared to other local options, Schurr High achieves these strong outcomes efficiently, spending less per student than several neighbors. It maintains better student attendance and a lower dropout rate than many area schools, though a nearby charter school, Ednovate - Esperanza College Prep, posts higher test scores with a different resource model. Overall, Schurr High represents a stable, improving choice with a proven record of helping students graduate successfully.
