Summary:
The city of Bay Point, California is home to 4 schools - 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The data reveals significant performance and demographic challenges facing these schools, with stark differences in academic achievement and high rates of chronic absenteeism across the district.
Riverview Middle School stands out as the largest school with 766 students, but also has the lowest performance on standardized tests, with proficiency rates well below the Mt. Diablo Unified district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Riverview Middle also has the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 31.1%. In contrast, Rio Vista Elementary has the second-highest performance, but also a high chronic absenteeism rate of 43.2%.
Across all schools, proficiency rates on standardized tests are significantly lower than district and state averages, particularly in Mathematics. Chronic absenteeism rates are high, ranging from 31.1% to 47.3%, which can negatively impact student learning. The schools also serve economically disadvantaged populations, with 60.39% to 83.18% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these performance and demographic challenges will be crucial for improving educational outcomes and providing equitable opportunities for all students in the Bay Point area.
