Summary:
Zip code 94015 in Daly City, California, is served by two public high schools, Westmoor High and Summit Public School: Shasta, both offering grades 9-12 and performing well above state averages.
Comparing the two, Summit Shasta stands out with higher proficiency in English and math, a near-perfect 99% graduation rate, and lower chronic absenteeism. Interestingly, it achieves these stronger outcomes despite having a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than Westmoor High, which has its own strengths including a slightly higher science proficiency rate, a lower student-teacher ratio, and a much larger student community that may support more diverse programs.
Both schools are part of higher-performing districts, with Summit belonging to the Summit Public School: Shasta District and Westmoor to the Jefferson Union High district. The data suggests families in this area have access to two quality options with different approaches: a larger comprehensive high school and a smaller charter school that demonstrates exceptional efficiency in key student outcome metrics.
