Summary

Sutter Union High is a public high school serving about 730 students in grades 9-12 in Sutter, CA, and is part of the Sutter Union High district, which is ranked in the top 60% in the state.

The school has significant strengths, most notably a perfect 100% graduation rate and a very low chronic absenteeism rate, both of which are better than the state average and outperform many nearby comprehensive high schools like Yuba City High and River Valley High. It also serves a student population with lower socioeconomic need than most surrounding schools. Academically, its English Language Arts scores are solid and beat the state average, but mathematics proficiency is a notable area for improvement, lagging behind the state by over 10 percentage points—a challenge shared with several other high schools in the region.

When compared to other local options, Sutter Union maintains steady, mid-tier performance. It is outperformed in test scores by the highly-ranked Marysville Charter Academy for the Arts, yet it achieves its strong graduation and attendance outcomes with lower per-student spending than that charter and other alternative schools. The school's performance has varied for different student groups, and supporting all students equitably remains an opportunity. Overall, it is a school that excels at keeping students on track to graduate but is working to strengthen its academic results in key subjects.
