Summary

Weed High is a small public high school serving about 187 students in grades 9-12 in the rural community of Weed, California, as part of the Siskiyou Union High district.

The school's recent academic performance has been notably volatile, with its state ranking dropping significantly over the past two years, which is a sharper swing than seen at nearby schools like Mount Shasta High. A major area of concern is mathematics, where proficiency rates are very low at 8.57%, lagging behind both the state and other local high schools. However, the school has a significant strength in its consistently high graduation rate of 91.7%, which outperforms the district, state, and neighboring schools including Dunsmuir High and McCloud High.

Weed High faces a serious challenge with chronic student absenteeism, though this is a common issue across the district. The school operates with relatively efficient per-student spending compared to some other small schools in the area. For parents, the key takeaways are the school's demonstrated success in helping students graduate, the urgent need for improvement in math scores, and the ongoing work required to improve student attendance, which impacts overall learning.
