Summary:
This analysis covers two public high schools in zip code 96093, serving the Weaverville, CA area within the Trinity Alps Unified district: the comprehensive Trinity High and the smaller, alternative Alps View High (Continuation).
Trinity High is the district's main high school and shows significant strengths in keeping students on track to graduate, with a 95.8% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate that far exceed state averages. However, its academic proficiency scores, particularly in mathematics where only 20% of students are proficient, are well below state averages, and chronic absenteeism is high at 29.5%. In contrast, Alps View High (Continuation) serves a much smaller population of at-risk students and faces greater challenges, with a lower graduation rate (72.7%), a higher dropout rate (9.1%), and a chronic absenteeism rate of 48.5%.
Overall, families in this rural area will find a primary high school that successfully graduates nearly all its students but has clear academic performance gaps, especially in math, alongside a continuation school dedicated to supporting struggling students. The district's graduation rates are strong, but both schools contend with high rates of student absenteeism compared to the state, indicating an area for potential improvement across the community.
