Summary:

High schools in ZIP code 93610 include two grade 9–12 schools: Chowchilla Union High, with 1,017 students, and Gateway High (Continuation), with 74. In 2025–2026, both schools scored below state proficiency rates in English, math and science, while their graduation and attendance results differed substantially. The clearest contrast is chronic absenteeism: it was 20% at Chowchilla and 72% at Gateway, a 51-point gap.

Chowchilla leads on the reported 2025–2026 test and graduation measures, while Gateway is lower. Chowchilla’s scores were 44% in ELA, 15% in math and 16% in science, compared with Gateway’s 21%, 0% and 6%; the gaps were 23, 15 and 10 percentage points, respectively. Chowchilla’s graduation rate was 97%, versus 72% at Gateway, and its dropout rate was 3%, versus 28%. Even Chowchilla remains below state test results in all three subjects, although its graduation rate is above the state’s 88%.

Recent trends offer a more mixed picture: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Chowchilla’s ELA score fell 12 points, while Gateway’s rose 18; both improved in science, and math was nearly unchanged. SchoolDigger ranks Chowchilla at the 32nd percentile with 2 stars and Gateway at the 13th percentile with 1 star for 2025–2026. Across the ranking history, Chowchilla declined from the 42nd percentile in 2023–2024, while Gateway rose from the 0th percentile. Other context includes student-teacher ratios of 21 at Chowchilla and 24 at Gateway, and free/reduced lunch eligible shares of 81% and 92%, respectively, in 2024–2025; these are observations, not explanations for the differences.
