Summary

Silver Valley High is a public high school serving about 390 students in grades 9-12 in Yermo, part of the Silver Valley Unified district, and stands out in its region for strong graduation success and English achievement despite serving a community with significant economic need.

The school's greatest strength is its exceptional 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, which far surpasses nearby comprehensive high schools like Barstow High. Academically, students perform notably better in English Language Arts than both the district and state averages. However, math and science scores are closer to or below average, and the school's overall state ranking saw a significant drop recently. It's important to note that chronic absenteeism, while a concern, is much lower than at local continuation schools such as Central High (Continuation) and Calico Continuation High.

Compared to other schools in the area, Silver Valley High is the highest-performing comprehensive option. It shows particular effectiveness in supporting students from low-income families and military-connected families. While there are some inconsistent performance trends year-to-year and among different student groups, the school maintains smaller class sizes and higher per-student spending than Barstow High, contributing to its role as a leading educational institution in the region.
