What the reported data says about Sunset High
Sunset High is a public high school serving grades 09–12 in Crescent City. It is one of 11 current school records connected to Del Norte County Unified. NCES reports 82 students for 2024–25.
Among 2,196 high schools in California with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 414.5 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 25th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 15.5:1, below the California median of 19.2:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are White (40.2%) and American Indian or Alaska Native (26.8%). English learners represent 4.2% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 8.4%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
