Summary

Sanger High is a grades 9–12 school in Sanger, California, serving 2,426 students in the Sanger Unified area. Its 2025–2026 graduation rate was 98.1%, about 10 percentage points above the state rate, and its dropout rate was 1.4%, compared with 8.3% statewide. The most important finding is that strong graduation and overall standing sit alongside a clear academic split: ELA and science are strengths, while math trails the state and district.

Sanger High scored 72% in ELA and 56% in science, respectively 23 and 20 points above state results and 17 points above district results in both subjects. Math proficiency was 35%—3 points below the state and 9 below the district. Among nearby regular high schools with reported results, Sanger led in ELA and science and placed second in math, just behind Sanger West High (35% versus 36%). Attendance is another area to watch: chronic absenteeism was 15%, below the state’s 18% but above the district’s 13%.

Science has improved most, rising 24 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026; ELA gained 8 points and math 6 over that period, though both dipped from their 2024–2025 highs. Sanger High ranked in the 82nd percentile statewide in SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 ranking (388 of 2,137 schools, 4 stars), the highest percentile among nearby schools with a current rank. Its student-teacher ratio was 23.1 in 2024–2025, the second-highest among nearby schools reporting one. Also that year, 70% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; California provides free meals to all students statewide, so this eligibility figure does not indicate who lacks meal access. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves special education students was in the 20th percentile, versus the school’s 82nd percentile overall, down from the 72nd percentile in 2023–2024.

What people are saying

by a citizen
Thursday, December 28, 2023

My experience at this school was negative overall. Unfortunately I was bullied badly and to the extent that it has impacted me later in life both personally and professionally. I should have complained about it but I did not. I am a male and quiet in demeanor and slight in physical stature. I was an athlete but that didn't matter when 10-12 people, some of them my sports teammates turned on me following bad advice from a bad apple, a girl of all things. I won't get too specific but it damaged me irreparably. I lost what little confidence I had. I became even more withdrawn and even went into hiding during lunch hours so I would not be attached. I'd like to ask some of these people how they would feel if their own kids were attacked the way I was back then. They would be furious. This all happened my senior year. They all ruined what should have been one of the best times of my life. You never get the time back. I even had to lie to one of my own kids about being bullied out of pure shame. I hope people really think their actions and word through before acting. They don't know the mental scars they create. Close Quote
