Summary:
The city of Bellflower, California is home to 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and 3 alternative schools. The data reveals a wide range of performance across these schools, with some standouts like Thomas Jefferson Elementary and Albert Baxter Elementary leading the way in academic proficiency and statewide rankings. Meanwhile, the alternative schools, such as Bellflower Alternative Education Center and Somerset High, face unique challenges with lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates.
Key metrics across the district reveal significant disparities, with schools like Downey Unified Virtual Academy and Las Flores Home Education Independent Study Academy standing out for their impressive graduation rates and strong performance on state assessments. However, chronic absenteeism rates vary widely, from just 10.3% at Las Flores to a concerning 65.4% at Bellflower Alternative Education Center.
Overall, the data suggests that while some Bellflower Unified and Downey Unified schools are excelling, there is room for improvement across the district. By identifying and replicating the practices of the top-performing schools, district leaders can work to raise the overall level of achievement and address the disparities in student outcomes.
