Summary

San Joaquin Valley High is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Parlier, California, with a total enrollment of 62 students. The school is part of the Parlier Unified School District, which is ranked 1434 out of 1543 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

San Joaquin Valley High has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of California high schools over the past several years, with its performance on standardized tests significantly below state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, 0% of the school's students were proficient or better in Smarter Balanced Assessments/Mathematics, compared to 12.44% for the Parlier Unified School District and 30.5% for the state. The school's graduation rates have been on par with or slightly higher than the district, but its dropout rates have been relatively high, ranging from 4.5% to 14.6% in recent years. Additionally, San Joaquin Valley High has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 16.9% to 48.8%, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Despite the school's challenges, it has seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from $17,855 in 2019-2020 to $219,392 in 2022-2023, which may indicate a focus on improving resources and support for the students. The school's student-teacher ratio has also been lower than nearby schools like Sanger High and Parlier High. However, the consistently low academic performance, particularly for minority and disadvantaged students, suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational programs, teaching practices, and support systems to address these persistent issues and improve outcomes for all students.
