Summary:
Zip code 91205 contains one public high school, Glendale High, serving grades 9-12 in the Glendale Unified district.
Glendale High presents a mixed picture for families. On one hand, the school excels at supporting students to graduation, with a 94% graduation rate that beats the state average and a very low dropout rate. On the other hand, academic proficiency in core subjects like math, English, and science is significantly below both the district and state averages, with the school's statewide ranking having declined in recent years. This indicates that while the school is effective at keeping students enrolled, there are challenges in ensuring they master grade-level content.
Key areas for improvement include addressing chronic absenteeism, which is higher than the district average, and understanding the sharp decline in science proficiency in 12th grade. Despite per-student spending above the national average, these academic gaps persist, especially when compared to other schools in the Glendale Unified district. For parents, this means the school provides a supportive environment for completion but may require supplemental academic support at home or through tutoring to help students reach proficiency benchmarks.
