How does chronic absence in Modesto City High compare with California?
The average Modesto City High high school had 24 in 100 students chronically absent (missed 10% or more of school days) in 2024–25; the average California high school had 23 in 100. These are averages of school rates: each school counts once, whatever its size.
Does living in Modesto City High decide which school my child attends?
Not by itself. Attendance boundaries, programs, transfers and space all matter. Confirm the school for your address, grade and program with the district.
Where do these results come from?
California’s state tests (CAASPP) from spring 2025 and chronic-absence rates for 2024–25, both published by the California Department of Education. Percentiles, bands and Scope Scores are SchoolScope’s calculations, not official state ratings. Private schools don’t take the state tests, so we don’t score them. Methodology and limitations.
