High schools are scored on their own scale — never ranked against other levels.
The high school years
47 points separate Anderson High (50) from North Valley High (3) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
47 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 5 high schools — the average hides more than it tells.
1 continuation/alternative school not plotted — it ranks within its own class, not on this statewide axis.
Anderson High is the strongest option at 50/100 — 24.1% of its students exceed the state standard.
42.1% of students are chronically absent (state: 23.1%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
What it means for your family
The 47-point spread means the district average is nearly meaningless for an address decision — the zoned high school is the whole decision. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Anderson High at 50/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
1 of the 5 ranked schools is a charter — enrollment paths that don't depend on your address. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, those lotteries and applications are the levers worth the paperwork.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — a school's number can move without your kid's experience moving with it. Ask your school two questions: what it is doing about attendance, and what the classroom looks like for a kid who arrives ahead.
