Summary

San Leandro High is a large public high school serving about 2,510 students in grades 9-12 within the San Leandro Unified district, which serves a community with significant economic need.

The school presents a mixed picture: it excels at graduating students, with a rate over 93% that beats both the district and state averages, and has made great strides in reducing chronic student absences. However, its academic performance on state tests has been declining in recent years, particularly in mathematics where proficiency is well below the state average. This creates a notable gap between its success in getting students to graduation day and their readiness on standardized assessments. The school's challenges are more pronounced for certain groups of students, and it operates with a higher student-to-teacher ratio than many nearby schools despite a mid-level spending amount per student.

When compared to nearby schools, San Leandro High graduates students at a higher rate than most in similar districts but trails academically behind others like Arroyo High in San Lorenzo Unified or nearby charter schools such as East Bay Innovation Academy. Its home district ranks lower than neighboring Castro Valley Unified, which generally has higher-performing schools. The data suggests families should consider the school's strong supportive culture for graduation against its current academic performance trends, especially in core subjects like math.
