Summary
Harvest High is a small high school serving grades 9–12 in Ripon, part of Ripon Unified, with 16 students reported. Chronic absenteeism is high: 38% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, compared with 18% statewide and 8% districtwide. The most serious academic concern is mathematics, where no students were proficient in the reported 2025–26 results.
English language arts is Harvest’s strongest tested subject, but all three subjects trail nearby schools, the district and the state. In 2025–26, 33% were proficient in ELA, compared with 49% statewide and 64% districtwide; that result was 13 points below the nearby-school average. Math proficiency was 0%, versus 38% statewide and 42% districtwide, tying Yosemite School Community Day for the lowest nearby result. Science proficiency was 13%, compared with 36% statewide and 46% districtwide, and was 14 points below the nearby average. Harvest also had 0% proficiency in 11th-grade math, lower than every nearby school with a reported result.
Results have not kept pace with statewide improvement: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, Harvest’s ELA proficiency fell 4 points and math fell 13 points, while science rose 2 points. Over that period, its gap below the state widened by 7 points in ELA, 16 in math and 4 in science. SchoolDigger ranks Harvest at the 22nd percentile and gives it one star for 2025–26; it is second-lowest among nearby schools with a ranking, while the district is at the 77th percentile. One stronger subgroup result stands out: in 2022–23, SchoolDigger ranked the school’s effectiveness for “Low Socio Economic Status Students” at the 49th percentile, 16 points above its overall 33rd-percentile standing that year. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 8.3, among the lowest nearby, and 50% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible; California provides free meals statewide, so that eligibility figure does not indicate who can access free meals. With only 16 students reported, school-level percentages can be sensitive to small numbers.
