Summary

Del Puerto High is a small traditional high school serving 92 students in grades 9-12 within the Patterson Joint Unified School District, and it ranks among the lowest-performing schools in California.

The school faces significant challenges, with 0% of students proficient in math and science and only 10% proficient in English, alongside a chronic absenteeism rate of 65.9% that is more than triple the state average. While the school spends over $22,000 per student—considerably more than nearby Patterson High—these resources have not translated into strong academic outcomes, and the school's graduation rate has been volatile while dropout rates remain high. Its profile, including small size and high student needs, is more similar to continuation schools like Argus High (Continuation) than to traditional comprehensive high schools.

There is a stark performance gap within the district, as Patterson High ranks in the middle of state schools while Del Puerto High ranks in the bottom 3%. This pattern suggests Del Puerto may serve a distinct, high-need student population. Despite a lower student-teacher ratio that could allow for more individual attention, the school has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, indicating deep-seated issues that require comprehensive support.
