Summary

Shasta High is a large, well-regarded public high school serving grades 9-12 to about 1,270 students in Redding, part of the consistently performing Shasta Union High district.

The school stands out as a strong performer with a 95.6% graduation rate that beats both district and state averages, and it achieves these results while spending less per student than several nearby schools like Enterprise High. It ranks in the top 16% of all California high schools and is the clear academic leader within its own district, with significantly higher test scores and a lower chronic absenteeism rate than its closest traditional peer, Enterprise High.

While Shasta High delivers strong results for most students, performance varies significantly among different groups; for instance, it excels in serving economically disadvantaged students but has shown recent, dramatic declines in outcomes for students in special education. It is important for parents to know that two smaller, different-model schools in the area, University Preparatory and Shasta Collegiate Academy, post higher overall rankings and graduation rates, though they serve different student populations.
