Strong Solid Developing Needs Support district avg state avg

67 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 6 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.

The strength

William & Marian Ghidotti High (77/100) holds the Strong band — 79.2% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 27.3%.

The catch

32.6% 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

If you're choosing a neighborhood

The 67-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 William & Marian Ghidotti High at 77/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.

If you already live here

1 of the 6 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.

If your kid is enrolled now

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.
