Summary

Anzar High is a small, rural public high school serving about 267 students in grades 9-12 within the Aromas - San Juan Unified school district in San Juan Bautista, known for its close-knit community and a student-teacher ratio that allows for more individual attention.

Recent academic performance at the school has been uneven, with its statewide ranking dropping significantly over the past few years; a particular area of concern is mathematics, where only 10% of students met proficiency standards in 2024-2025, which is much lower than the state average and nearby comprehensive schools like Christopher High and Hollister High. However, the school has important strengths, including a strong 90.6% graduation rate that beats the state average and a dramatic improvement in reducing chronic student absenteeism to a rate better than both the district and state.

When compared to other local options, Anzar High solidly outperforms continuation schools but faces a stark contrast with the highly selective Dr. TJ Owens Gilroy Early College Academy. The school spends more per student than several neighboring high schools, yet these resources have not yet translated to improved test scores in core subjects, indicating a focus for future improvement while building on its successes in graduation and attendance.
