Summary:
Zip code 93201 has one listed high school, Alpaugh -Senior High, serving grades 9–12 with 96 students in Alpaugh Unified. In 2025–26, the school’s reported graduation rate was 100%, above the state’s 88%, but its academic results varied sharply by subject. The clearest concern is math: 6% of students met the proficiency measure, compared with 38% statewide, a 32-point shortfall.
As the only school in the area list, Alpaugh -Senior High has no local school-to-school leader or trailer. Compared with the state, ELA proficiency was also lower—30% versus 49%, a 19-point gap—while all-grades science was essentially even, at 36% for both the school and state. That science average conceals a grade-level difference: 11th-grade results were 45% versus 38% statewide, while 12th-grade results were 23% versus 33%. Graduation was 12 points above the state rate, and the dropout rate was 0%, 8 points below the state’s 8%. Chronic absenteeism was a counterpoint: 22%, 3 points above the state’s 18%.
Recent academic trends offer mixed signals: ELA fell from 33% in 2024–25 to 30% in 2025–26, and its gap with the state widened from 15 to 19 points; math rose from 4% to 6%, narrowing its state gap from 34 to 32 points.
