Summary

Mount Shasta High serves 241 students in grades 9–12 in Mount Shasta, a small Northern California community. In 2025–2026, about 54% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 26% in math, and 37% in science; results were mixed, with ELA and science around or above state levels. Math is the clearest concern: proficiency was 12 percentage points below the state.

Compared with nearby Weed High, Mount Shasta had lower ELA proficiency (54% versus 60%) but higher math (26% versus 12%) and science (37% versus 17%). Against the state, Mount Shasta was 4 points higher in ELA and 1 point higher in science, but 12 points lower in math. Its science result was also 8 points above the Siskiyou Union High district, while ELA was 1 point below the district and math 4 points above it. Graduation is a relative strength: 89% compared with 88% statewide and 85% in the district. However, chronic absenteeism was 29%, 11 points above the state rate, though 4 points below the district.

Results have shifted over time: ELA fell from 82% in 2022–2023 to 54% in 2025–2026, despite a 9-point rebound in the latest year; math rose 10 points from the prior year but remains below the state. SchoolDigger ranks Mount Shasta at the 58th percentile with 3 stars, up from the 51st percentile last year but below its 81st-percentile standing in 2023–2024; Weed is at the 39th percentile with 2 stars. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show lower relative standing for White Students, at the 24th percentile, and Low Socio Economic Status Students, at the 33rd percentile, compared with the school overall at the 58th percentile. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 14.5, matching Weed’s, and 33% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch that year. Current nearby-school test comparisons are available only for Weed, as results for some other nearby schools are suppressed.
