Summary

Serrano High is a large public high school serving grades 9-12 in Phelan, CA, with over 2,100 students in the Snowline Joint Unified district, which serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged community.

Academically, the school has seen a notable decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, now performing in the middle of the pack. While its graduation rate remains strong at 92%, it faces significant challenges in mathematics proficiency and with chronic absenteeism, which affects over a quarter of students. Performance varies among different student groups, with female students generally outperforming male students, and notable achievement gaps for students in special education and English language learner programs. Within its own district, Serrano High is the primary academic institution, significantly outperforming the alternative schools, Chaparral High and Eagle Summit Community Day.

Compared to nearby schools in other districts, Serrano achieves mid-tier results with much lower per-student spending than schools like Oak Hills High and Hesperia High, but is outperformed by the highly ranked Cobalt Institute of Math and Science. The school's higher-than-average absenteeism rate is a key area for improvement, especially when compared to top-performing neighbors.
