Summary

San Joaquin Valley High is a small 7–12 school in Parlier, in California’s San Joaquin Valley, serving 50 students. Its 2025–26 graduation rate is close to the state rate, but chronic absenteeism is exceptionally high: 62%, compared with 18% statewide and 17% in Parlier Unified. The most important concern is that proficiency is extremely low in all three subjects: about 3% in ELA, math and science, far below both district and state results.

Test results place the school near the bottom of nearby comparisons. Its ELA result was the lowest among seven nearby schools with reported scores; its math and science results were second-lowest, above only Selma Independent. The school’s scores were about 45 points below nearby-school averages in ELA, 23 points below in math and 27 points below in science. They were also 46, 35 and 33 points below state results, respectively. Graduation is a relative bright spot: 89%, slightly above the state’s 88%, though 4 points below the district’s 92%.

Proficiency has not shown a sustained recovery: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell 7 points and math fell 2, while science rose 3 points; the gaps from the state widened in all three subjects. SchoolDigger ranks the school 2,039th of 2,137 statewide, in the 5th percentile with 0 stars; its percentile has remained at 5 for three school years. Context figures include a student–teacher ratio of 10.9 in 2024–25, lower than at seven of nine nearby schools, and 94% free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s English Language Learner Students subgroup result stands out positively: its statewide percentile was 72 in 2021–22, compared with 8 for the school overall. The 2024–25 ELA result is not provided, and the school’s small enrollment means percentages can be volatile.
