Summary

College Park High is a large, comprehensive public high school serving grades 9-12 to nearly 2,000 students in Pleasant Hill, California, operating within the Mt. Diablo Unified school district.

Academically, the school is a consistent high performer, ranking in the 76th percentile statewide and significantly outperforming other comprehensive high schools in its district like Ygnacio Valley High and Mt. Diablo High in core subjects, while maintaining excellent graduation rates above 94%. It achieves these strong results with notably lower per-student spending compared to nearby schools such as Alhambra Senior High, suggesting efficient operations. The school's student body has become more economically diverse in recent years, with 40.5% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

While College Park High is a district leader, it faces challenges in consistently serving all student subgroups, as performance for English Learners and Special Education students has shown significant volatility year-to-year. When compared to the high-performing Alhambra Senior High in a neighboring district, College Park is competitive in graduation rates and math proficiency. However, its chronic absenteeism rate is higher, and it trails in science. The school's overall strength makes it an academic anchor within Mt. Diablo Unified.

Open Quote Rude office staff, especially the administration. Bullying is prevalent, no regard for teacher communication or support, sped students and teachers are treated with disrespect. If your kid has an IEP, beware. Close Quote
