Summary:
Zip code 93510 contains one high school, Vasquez High, a grades 9-12 school in Acton serving 394 students within the Acton-Agua Dulce Unified district.
Parents should be aware that Vasquez High presents a complex academic profile. The school excels at graduating its students, with a 96.7% graduation rate that far exceeds both the district and state averages. However, this strength contrasts sharply with very low standardized test scores, particularly in mathematics where only about 2.5% of 11th graders are proficient. This significant gap between graduation rates and academic proficiency is the most critical point for families to investigate further.
Financially, the school is well-resourced, spending over $21,000 per student, but it faces challenges with chronic student absenteeism and a rapid decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years. While the school successfully supports students to complete their diplomas, parents will want to understand how the curriculum prepares graduates for college or careers given the low proficiency scores. The school's performance is notably different from the rest of its district, graduating students at a much higher rate but with lower math scores than the district average.
