Summary

Mira Loma High is a large public high school serving grades 9-12 with approximately 1,655 students in the San Juan Unified district of Sacramento, historically standing out as a strong academic performer within its area.

While the school's overall state ranking has recently declined, it continues to outperform its district and most nearby schools in core academic subjects like English, math, and science. For example, it maintains a significantly higher graduation rate (87.3%) than many local alternatives such as La Entrada Continuation High and shows much stronger academic results than nearby charter schools. However, challenges are evident, including a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the state average and a notable recent drop in proficiency for 12th-grade science.

The school demonstrates varied effectiveness with different student groups, showing particular strength with some while others need more support. Compared to specialized schools in the area, Mira Loma achieves relatively strong outcomes with moderate per-student spending, indicating efficient use of resources. Despite recent dips in performance metrics, it remains one of the stronger comprehensive high school options for families in its immediate community.
