Summary:
This analysis examines four high schools serving grades 9-12 in Moreno Valley, CA 92553, an area where a high percentage of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic need.
Moreno Valley High stands out as the strongest performer, with the highest test scores, graduation rate, and state ranking among the local schools, while Leadership Military Academy also shows strengths with a very high graduation rate. In contrast, March Mountain High and Bayside Community Day face considerable academic challenges, with very low proficiency rates in core subjects like math.
A notable finding is that all four schools graduate students at rates near or above the state average despite most having very low standardized test scores, a point parents may wish to explore. Chronic absenteeism is a major concern across the area, far exceeding the state average. Mathematics is a particular weakness district-wide. The schools in the Moreno Valley Unified district generally outperform their district's average in English but underperform in math and science.
