Summary:
ZIP code 95660 has three public high schools serving grades 9–12 in Twin Rivers Unified, with 926 students combined. The schools range from 69 students at Pacific Career and Technology High to 778 at Highlands High; Miles P. Richmond enrolls 79. The clearest area-wide concern is chronic absenteeism: rates at all three schools are far above the state’s 18%.
Highlands High leads the two schools with reported 2025–2026 proficiency results, while Pacific Career and Technology High is lowest in every subject. Highlands’ results were 40% in ELA, 17% in math, and 24% in science; Pacific’s were 3%, 6%, and 3%, respectively—a difference of 37 points in ELA, 11 in math, and 21 in science. Both schools were below state results in each subject. SchoolDigger ranked Highlands 1,374th of 2,137 (36th percentile, 2 stars) and Pacific 1,971st (8th percentile, 0 stars). Absenteeism underscores the contrast: Pacific’s 89% rate was well above Highlands’ 54% and Richmond’s 52%, compared with 18% statewide.
Recent score trends offer a mixed picture: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Highlands gained 3 points in ELA and 7 in science but fell 3 in math; Pacific declined 4 points in ELA and 3 points in both math and science. For the two scored schools, the average state gap widened by 1 point in ELA, 4 in math, and 1 in science. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking improved for Highlands, from 32nd in 2023–2024 to 36th in 2025–2026, but fell for Pacific, from 13th to 8th. For context, 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 89% at Highlands, 91% at Pacific, and 68% at Richmond; California’s statewide free-meal policy is relevant context for these figures. Student-teacher ratios were 18.9 at Highlands and 6.0 at Pacific. Richmond has no reported proficiency scores, so test-score comparisons cover only two schools.
