Summary

Edward P. Duplex is a very small public high school serving about 55 students in grades 9-12 within the Wheatland Union High district in Wheatland, CA.

The school faces significant challenges, particularly with student attendance and academic achievement. Its chronic absenteeism rate is exceptionally high at 80%, meaning most students miss a large amount of school, which is a fundamental barrier to learning. Academically, proficiency rates in English, math, and science are far below both the district and state averages, placing the school's statewide ranking in the bottom 1%. This is in stark contrast to the main district school, Wheatland Union High, which ranks much higher and has significantly stronger academic results and better attendance, despite sharing the same address.

While recent graduation rates have improved, the school's overall performance lags behind other local alternative programs like Phoenix High (Continuation) and South Lindhurst Continuation High. Edward P. Duplex also spends more per student than several neighboring high schools, yet yields poorer outcomes, indicating that factors beyond funding, such as school culture and instructional quality, are critical areas needing attention for any meaningful improvement.
