The dropout rate in Modesto City High School District rose to 4% in the 2022-23 school year, according to the California Department of Education.

This translates to roughly 644 students out of 16,078 quitting schools before completing their education.

Data shows that this is 4.2% lower than the statewide average dropout rate of 8.2% registered at the time.

California's 2024-25 budget allocates nearly $76.4 billion to K-12 schools, avoiding education funding cuts for the upcoming year. However, some contend that the state's funding formula may be counterproductive. A Reason Foundation study suggests that taxpayers have spent over $4 billion on more than 400,000 “ghost students” — over 6% of total state school aid.
