Summary:

Zip code 95370 in Sonora, California, is served by three public high schools within the Sonora Union High district, offering grades 9-12 to nearly 1,000 students with a mix of traditional and alternative educational settings.

Sonora High is the district's standout comprehensive high school, with strong graduation rates and above-state-average performance in English and Science, though math proficiency is an area for improvement. In contrast, the two much smaller alternative schools, Theodore Bird High and Dario Cassina High, which share a campus, face significant academic challenges but show a striking difference in graduation success despite serving similar student populations.

Key issues across the district include concerning levels of chronic student absenteeism, particularly at the alternative schools, and mathematics performance that lags behind the state average. While Sonora High performs well with efficient resources, the wide variation in per-student spending and outcomes at the alternative schools suggests a need to examine how support is tailored to meet different student needs effectively.
