Summary

Del Puerto High is a small grades 9–12 school in Patterson, California, with 92 students. Its most urgent concern is chronic absenteeism: 67% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, compared with 17% in Patterson Joint Unified and 18% statewide. Only West Side Valley High and Argus High (Continuation) had higher rates among nearby schools with current data.

Test results are low across all three subjects, though ELA is the school’s strongest score. In 2025–2026, 12% of students were proficient in ELA, compared with 37% in the district and 49% statewide; math was 0%, versus 20% and 38%; and science was 5%, versus 21% and 36%. Among nearby schools with results, Del Puerto’s ELA and science scores were each fourth-lowest, while its math score tied for lowest. Its scores were also below nearby-school averages: 41% in ELA, 14% in math, and 22% in science.

Results have not shown sustained improvement: math remained at 0% across the four years reported, ELA ended slightly below its 2022–2023 level, and science rose from 2% to 5%. Even with that science improvement, the gaps with state results widened over the four years. SchoolDigger ranks the school 2,038th of 2,137 California schools, at the 5th percentile and 0 stars; its previous percentiles were 3, 6, and 6. The school has 13.7 students per teacher, the lowest reported ratio among nearby schools, but its results remain near the bottom of the group. In 2024–2025, 84% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, near the middle of the nearby-school range of 54.2% to 93.1%.
