Background

Ceres High is one of two traditional high school in the district. Built in 1908, it is fed by three junior high schools and seven elementary schools. The ethnic trend of increased numbers of Hispanic students continues, with 48.4% of students Hispanic, 35% White, 2.4% African-American, 2.7% American Indian, 7.8% Asian-American, .6% Pacific Islander, and 1.0% Filipino-American. The number of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch continues to climb to 47% - a 4% increase.[ when? ] The number of English Language learners increased significantly over the past three years.[ when? ]

More recently Ceres High School began modernization in the summer of 2005. Some portable classrooms were removed, two gyms were remodeled, and the cafeteria was remodeled into a student center. The second phase of modernization will include remodeling the main office and library. The final phase of modernization will include the construction of a new performing arts building that will be used for school and community events.

Ceres High School had a decline in enrollment from last year to this year from 2387 to 1728 due to the opening of the second high school. Based on the last three years of data, the number of students enrolled in AP classes has slightly declined; whereas, enrollment in the honors classes has been steady the last two years. There has been a decline in the AVID program due to the previous administration deleting the program from the master schedule. While there has been a slight increase in the number of students enrolled in special education, there has been a significant increase in the number of English Learner students over the last three years. Ceres High School is a Title I school and has met its AYP for the last two years. CHS has not been placed under Program Improvement. For the last three years, CHS has met their API target.[ when? ]

In 2007, over 25% of the graduating class went straight to a four-year university.

A majority of Ceres High students are involved in athletics, clubs, organizations, or other student activities. Although the student mobility rate has been significant in the last year, ADA for the last three years is maintained at about 92%. Additionally, the CHS graduation rate has been at or above 89% for the same time period, with over 60% of graduates attending a community college. The number of students passing the CAHSEE has increased each year.
