Summary:
The city of Cambria, California is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is a continuation high school). The data reveals a mix of standout schools and areas that may require additional attention and support to improve student success.
Coast Union High School stands out with a strong 4-year graduation rate of 96.9% and a low dropout rate of 3.1%. However, the school's performance on standardized tests is below the state average. In contrast, Santa Lucia Middle School has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking and generally performs above the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts.
Across the schools, chronic absenteeism rates vary significantly, with Leffingwell High (Continuation) having the highest rate at 68.8%. Additionally, the Coast Unified district as a whole faces challenges, with all schools having relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting potential equity concerns that may be impacting student outcomes.
