Summary

Altus Schools Coachella Valley is a high school serving grades 7–12 in Palm Desert, in the Coachella Valley; its enrollment is listed as 0, so the data do not provide a usable student count. Attendance looks comparatively favorable: chronic absenteeism was 13%, below the state’s 18% and the nearby-school average of 43%. But graduation was 63%, compared with 88% statewide, and dropout was 31%, versus 8% statewide. The most important concern for families is this sharp contrast between lower absenteeism and much weaker completion outcomes.

Academically, ELA is Altus’s strongest area, while math is its clearest weakness. All-grades ELA proficiency was 54%, above the state’s 49% and the nearby-school average of 49%; science was 28%, below the state’s 36% but above the nearby average of 22%. Math proficiency was 16%, well below the state’s 38% and the nearby average of 19%. Results also differ by grade: 11th-grade ELA was 67%, above the state’s 57%, while 11th-grade math was just 6%, compared with 32% statewide. No district test-score comparison is available.

There is not enough school-specific history to tell whether results are improving or declining: the available test results and SchoolDigger school rank are for 2025–26 only. SchoolDigger ranks Altus 1,269th of 2,137 schools, at the 41st percentile, with 2 stars; nearby schools with rank histories range from the 13th to the 79th percentile. SchoolDigger ranks the Altus Schools Coachella Valley District 544th of 968, at the 44th percentile, also with 2 stars. No school-specific low-income measure was reported; the student-teacher-ratio field is blank, and the listed enrollment is 0.
