Summary:
This analysis examines three public high schools serving grades 9-12 in Livermore, California (zip code 94550), all part of the Livermore Valley Joint Unified district, revealing generally strong performance with notable differences between the two comprehensive high schools and the continuation school.
Among the traditional high schools, Granada High stands out as the highest-performing, with state test scores well above the district's other comprehensive school, Livermore High, particularly in English and science, and it maintains a near-perfect graduation rate of 98.5%. Del Valle Continuation High serves a specialized at-risk population and, while its test scores are significantly lower, it achieves a commendable 94% graduation rate with much smaller class sizes and more than double the per-student funding of the other schools.
Key takeaways for parents include the district's overall above-average ranking, the exceptional graduation rates across all three schools, and the clear performance gap between Granada and Livermore High that may influence school choice. It's also important to note that chronic absenteeism is much higher at Del Valle, and mathematics proficiency is an area for potential improvement at both comprehensive high schools compared to their English scores.
