Despite its location, Apollo High has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of California high schools over the past several years, with rankings ranging from 1,165 out of 1,290 schools in 2020-2021 to 2,114 out of 2,133 schools in 2018-2019. This poor performance is reflected in the school's test scores, which are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. Additionally, Apollo High has a high dropout rate, ranging from 3.5% to 28.6% over the past few years, and a chronic absenteeism rate between 17.3% and 45.0%, both of which are much higher than the district and state averages.
When compared to other high schools in the Simi Valley Unified School District, such as Simi Valley High and Royal High, Apollo High significantly underperforms. These nearby schools have higher academic achievement, graduation rates, and lower dropout and chronic absenteeism rates. The combination of low academic performance, high dropout rates, chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of low-socioeconomic status students suggests that Apollo High may be facing significant challenges in terms of resources, support, and addressing the unique needs of its student population.
