Summary:
The city of Burney, California is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 2 high schools (one regular and one continuation), and 1 alternative school. The schools in this area serve a diverse student population and face a range of challenges, from low test scores to high chronic absenteeism rates.
Among the standout schools, Burney Junior-Senior High ranks the highest statewide, ranking 1038 out of 2323 California high schools, and has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 90.9%. In contrast, Burney Elementary has significantly lower test scores compared to the Fall River Joint Unified School District and the state of California averages, though it has the highest student enrollment among the schools.
Across the schools, chronic absenteeism is a significant concern, with all schools reporting rates above 35%, and Mountain View High (Continuation) having an alarmingly high rate of 75%. Additionally, the high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility, especially at Burney Elementary and the alternative schools, suggest that these schools serve a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to their lower academic performance.
