Summary

Moreno Valley High is a grades 9–12 school serving 2,103 students in Moreno Valley, California, and is part of Moreno Valley Unified. Graduation is a bright spot: in 2025–2026, 95% of students graduated, compared with 93% in the district and 88% statewide. But chronic absenteeism was 30%, above the district’s 25% and the state’s 18%. The most important concern is that math and science proficiency are low compared with the state, while chronic absenteeism remains high.

ELA is the school’s strongest tested subject, but its results trail the nearby-school average in all three subjects. In 2025–2026, 41% of students met the ELA standard, versus 52% across eight nearby schools; the school was 8 percentage points below the state but 6 points above its district. Math proficiency was 12%, compared with a 24% nearby average, 38% statewide, and 20% in the district. Science proficiency was 14%, versus a 30% nearby average, 36% statewide, and 20% in the district. Among nearby schools with current results, the school ranked eighth of nine in ELA and third-lowest in math and science.

Results have weakened over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA fell 8 percentage points and math fell 3, while science was nearly flat; the gaps with the state widened in all three subjects. SchoolDigger’s statewide standing dropped from the 48th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 28th percentile and 1 star in 2025–2026. Context includes a student-teacher ratio of 19.9:1 and 93% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s ranking for Homeless Students was notably higher than the overall ranking, at the 61st percentile versus the 28th. Its ranking for Asian Students was lower, at the 9th percentile.
