ranked #402 statewide · #1 of 4 in Yosemite Unified
Glacier High School Charter scores 58 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 81st percentile of 2,160 California high schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).
Measures test performance, attendance, and climate — not arts, community, or your kid. How we score →
Most rating sites would stop at “52% proficient” and call it done. Glacier High School Charter deserves a closer read. The school sits in Oakhurst, where two in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The headline number: 15.1% chronic absenteeism — versus 30.2% statewide. Attendance is the quietest strong signal a school can post.
As a charter, Glacier High School Charter enrolls by application, not address — the score reads the same, the enrollment path doesn't.
