Summary:
Mojave Junior/Senior High is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Mojave, California, with 396 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently struggled with low academic performance, ranking in the bottom half of California high schools over the past 10 years and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low performance compared to other schools in the state.
Mojave Junior/Senior High's challenges are particularly pronounced for certain student subgroups, such as African American, multi-racial, English Language Learner, and special education students, who perform significantly worse than their peers at the school and across the state. The school has very low proficiency rates on standardized tests, with only 22.22% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and just 2.27% proficient or better in Mathematics, far below the state averages. Additionally, Mojave Junior/Senior High has grappled with high dropout rates, ranging from 2.2% to 16.3% over the past 5 years, and very high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 74.2% in the 2021-2022 school year.
In comparison, nearby schools like California City High and Tehachapi High have significantly higher academic performance, with higher proficiency rates, graduation rates, and lower dropout and chronic absenteeism rates. The high poverty rates, at 90.91% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and the declining performance over the past 10 years suggest that Mojave Junior/Senior High may be facing significant challenges in terms of resources, student support, and community engagement, which likely contribute to the school's overall low performance.
