Its completion figures are strong: in 2025–26, 98% of students graduated, compared with 88% statewide, and 0.3% dropped out, versus 8.3% statewide. But its academic results show a clear split: English language arts is a strength, while math is the school’s biggest proficiency concern.

Compared with the other two listed Visalia Unified grades 9–12 schools, its ELA result was close to their average, but its math was 4 points lower and science 13 points lower.

Recent trends are mixed: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA proficiency fell from 70% to 64%, while math edged up from 22% to 23%; the state’s math rate rose from 35% to 38%, widening the school’s deficit.
