Summary:

Zip code 96113 has one listed high school, Herlong High, serving grades 9–12, so there is no group of local high schools to compare. The clearest current concern is chronic absenteeism: in 2025–2026, 42% of students were chronically absent, compared with 19% in the Fort Sage Unified district and 18% statewide—gaps of 23 and 24 percentage points, respectively.

There is no measurable local top or bottom school: Herlong High is the only school listed. For context, district proficiency rates were below state rates in every all-grades subject: ELA was 15% versus 49%, a 35-point gap; math was 6% versus 38%, a 33-point gap; and science was 10% versus 36%, a 26-point gap. These are district comparisons, not results for the school: the state suppressed all six school-level subject scores.

SchoolDigger’s historical measures show improvement: the school’s statewide rank rose from the 41st percentile in 2015–2016 and 2016–2017 to the 58th percentile in 2023–2024, a 17-point increase, while its rating went from 2 stars to 3 stars. In 2024–2025, the school had 46 students and a 10.9:1 student-teacher ratio; 70% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. These figures offer context about the school, but the single-school listing does not provide local comparisons among schools.
