Summary

Elsie Allen High is a public high school serving about 1,030 students in grades 9-12 within the Santa Rosa High district, and it faces significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics where only 3.7% of students scored as proficient in the 2024-2025 school year.

The school's performance lags considerably behind other local high schools; for example, math proficiency is over four times lower than at Montgomery High (16.73%) and dramatically lower than at high-performing charters like Technology High (69.05%). Furthermore, the school's graduation rate, while recently improving to 80.6%, has been volatile and remains below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism (37.5%) and dropout rate (15.6%) are notably higher than those of neighboring schools.

Despite having the highest per-student spending among traditional high schools in its district at $19,388, outcomes are the lowest, serving a student population where over 71% are economically disadvantaged. While there are some bright spots, such as historically strong support for migrant students, the school's overall statewide ranking has declined over the past decade, indicating systemic challenges in core academic areas that are not seen to the same degree at other area schools like Maria Carrillo High or Santa Rosa High.
