Summary

Silver Springs High (Continuation) in Grass Valley, California, is a small school serving 80 students in grades 9–12 in the Nevada County area. In 2025–2026, its all-grade proficiency was 9% in English, 0% in math and 6% in science; its graduation rate was 63% and chronic absenteeism was 86%. The central concern is that results are weak across academics, graduation and attendance—not just in one subject.

Compared with nearby schools, the Nevada Joint Union High District and the state, Silver Springs was lowest among nearby schools with same-year results in all three subjects. Its English proficiency was 9%, against 49% statewide and 58% districtwide; nearby schools averaged 68%, and even their lowest result was 40%. Math was 0%, versus 38% statewide and 34% districtwide; the nearby-school average was 38%. Science was 6%, compared with 36% statewide and 48% districtwide, while nearby schools averaged 50%. Graduation was 63%, below the state’s 88% and district’s 92%, and lower than every nearby school with a reported rate. Chronic absenteeism was 86%, versus 18% statewide and 25% districtwide, and exceeded the highest nearby reported rate by 44 percentage points.

Over time, English proficiency gained 8 percentage points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, but fell after reaching 20% in 2023–2024; math was 0% in both the first and latest years, while science gained 4 points. SchoolDigger ranked Silver Springs in the 3rd percentile, with 0 stars, in 2025–2026; its percentile fell 11 points from the prior year. The school’s 8.4 students per teacher in 2024–2025 was the lowest among nearby schools with reported ratios, while 98% were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger subgroup rankings also varied: Disabled Students ranked in the 30th percentile in 2017–2018, compared with the school’s overall 8th percentile, but in 2021–2022 ranked in the 4th percentile versus 16th overall; Hispanic Students were in the 1st percentile in 2021–2022 versus 16th overall.
