Summary

Tahoe Truckee High is a well-regarded public high school serving about 900 students in grades 9-12 in the scenic Tahoe-Truckee Unified School District, consistently earning high state ratings for over a decade.

The school shines with a 95.5% graduation rate and excels particularly in English and science, outperforming both the district and nearby North Tahoe High. It has also made impressive strides, significantly reducing chronic student absenteeism. While math scores are an area for growth, the school shows strong improvement in supporting special education students. Compared to Sierra High (Continuation), which serves a different student population with very high needs, TTHS operates as the district's comprehensive high school with robust outcomes.

Looking at performance among different groups of students, the data shows that female students score exceptionally high statewide, while there is a noticeable gap compared to male students. The school also has work to do in ensuring students from lower-income families achieve at the same high level as their peers. With higher per-student spending than North Tahoe High and strong academic results, TTHS appears to use its resources effectively to maintain its status as a high-performing school within the community.
