Summary:

Zip code 92780 in Tustin, California, is served by two public high schools within the Tustin Unified district: a traditional comprehensive school, Tustin High, and an alternative continuation school, Hillview High (Continuation), which serve very different student populations and purposes.

Tustin High is the main comprehensive high school, ranking in the 60th percentile statewide with a strong 96% graduation rate. Its academic performance is solid in English but shows a significant need for improvement in mathematics, where proficiency is notably lower than in other subjects. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is better than the state average, and it operates with a fairly typical class size for a large high school.

In contrast, Hillview High (Continuation) serves at-risk students and, while its standardized test scores are very low, it achieves an 86% graduation rate, close to the state average, indicating success in helping struggling students complete their diplomas. However, the school faces a severe challenge with chronic absenteeism, affecting over two-thirds of its students, and it requires significantly more funding per student to provide its specialized, smaller-class-size environment.
