Summary

Calico Continuation High is a small school in Yermo, California, serving 45 students in grades 6–12. Its results tell a mixed story: the school reported a 100% graduation rate in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, even as test proficiency was low. The most urgent concern is chronic absenteeism: in 2025–2026, it was 73% at Calico, compared with 18% statewide and 19% in Silver Valley Unified.

Science is Calico’s weakest subject compared with nearby schools, its district and the state: proficiency was 0% in 2025–2026, about 35 percentage points below both the state and district, and lower than the reported results at Silver Valley High (38%), Barstow High (30%) and Central High (Continuation) (5%). ELA was its strongest subject relative to the state, but still lagged: Calico had 16% proficiency, versus 49% statewide and 43% in the district. In math, Calico had 4% proficiency, compared with 38% statewide and 30% in the district. In all three subjects, Calico was ahead of Central High but behind Silver Valley High and Barstow High.

Recent results have been uneven, with ELA slipping after several years of gains: it rose from 20% in 2022–2023 to 29% in 2024–2025, then fell to 16% in 2025–2026. Math moved from 0% to 4% over the same endpoints, with fluctuations in between. SchoolDigger ranked Calico at the 14th percentile statewide in 2025–2026 and gave it 1 star; its percentile fell 7 points from the prior year. SchoolDigger also placed the school at the 2nd percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students, down 13 points from the prior year, compared with an overall 14th-percentile ranking. In 2024–2025, 93% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, and the student–teacher ratio was 30.2.
