Summary

Simi Valley High is a large public high school serving approximately 1,910 students in grades 9-12 within the Simi Valley Unified School District, representing a solid, mainstream option in the community.

The school has a significant strength in ensuring students graduate, with rates consistently above 94% and very low dropout numbers, supported by better-than-average student attendance. However, a detailed look at academic performance reveals a mixed picture. While students perform well in English Language Arts, exceeding district and state averages, there is a pronounced and persistent challenge in mathematics, where proficiency lags significantly behind both the district and state. This math gap is a notable difference when compared to some schools in the area, such as the high-performing Santa Susana High, and is also evident to a lesser degree at neighboring Royal High.

When examining performance across different student groups, disparities emerge, with female students generally outperforming male students, and the school facing challenges in supporting special education students effectively. It's important for parents to know that within the district, schools like Santa Susana High and Royal High rank higher, while Apollo High serves a different, high-need population. Overall, Simi Valley High is a school that successfully guides most students to graduation but has clear, identified areas for academic improvement, particularly in mathematics education.
