The school also boasts a strong 4-year graduation rate of 97.8% and a low dropout rate of 2.2%.

The data analysis also reveals socioeconomic factors that may contribute to the disparities observed among the high schools. Coulterville High has the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 71.43%, followed by Spring Hill High (Continuation) at 66.67% and Mariposa County High at 61.16%.
