What stands out about Summerville Union High

  • It ranks in the top 10% of US districts for estimated teacher pay, higher than 90% of the 10,684 reliable-salary districts nationally.
  • Estimated teacher pay here moved +8.5% between FY2019 and FY2023, trailing California's statewide +25.3% by 16.8 points, a growth rate faster than 8% of the 856 California districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 6.7% here, from 625 students in FY2019 to 667 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
