Summary

March Mountain High is a small public high school serving 255 students in grades 9-12 within the Moreno Valley Unified School District, which faces significant challenges across the region.

The school's academic performance is among the lowest in the state, with only 0.68% of students proficient in math and 15.65% in English, far below both the district and state averages. This is notably lower than other high schools in the area, such as Valley View High and Canyon Springs High. A major contributing factor is a chronic absenteeism rate of 49.4%, meaning nearly half the students miss a significant amount of school, which is more than double the district average and creates a substantial barrier to learning.

Despite these severe academic struggles, the school maintains a graduation rate of 86.8%, close to the state average, suggesting it has systems to keep students enrolled. It also operates with a very low student-teacher ratio of 10-to-1 and spends over $35,000 per student, which is significantly more than nearby schools. This combination of high spending, small class sizes, and poor outcomes indicates resources may not be effectively translating into academic success, highlighting a need for different strategies to improve student engagement and instruction.
