Whittier Union High School District in California Posts Record 94.7% Graduation Rate in 2026, With A-G Completion at 66.6%
Whittier Union High School District in Whittier, California, announced on November 5 that, under California Department of Education data including the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress and the California Dashboard, its 2026 graduation rate reached 94.7 percent, an all-time high, up four percentage points from 2023 and above the state average of 87.5 percent.
The district says A-G completion is also at a record high, at 66.6 percent. A-G completion determines eligibility for admission to the University of California or California State University systems, and about two-thirds of the Class of 2026 graduates qualify.
Within the total, the combined graduation rate at the United Sierra Education Center schools, Frontier and Sierra Vista, the district's continuation and alternative education high schools, was 72.7 percent. Students who attended Frontier or Sierra Vista before returning to their home comprehensive high school graduated at a rate of 98.6 percent.
Among 164 California districts with more than 200 low-income Hispanic and Latino students tested, Whittier Union ranks first in math and science CAASPP scores and seventh in English language arts. All five of the district's comprehensive high schools earned a place on the Educational Results Partnership 2026 Honor Roll.
