Summary:
The city of Chowchilla, California is home to 9 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 4 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools (with 1 continuation high school). The data reveals a mix of academic performance across the schools, with some standout high-performing institutions and others struggling to meet state standards.
Dairyland Elementary and Alview Elementary are the highest-performing schools in the area, consistently ranking in the top 30% of California middle schools and elementary schools, respectively. These schools demonstrate strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly outperforming the state and district averages. In contrast, the high schools, Chowchilla Union High and Gateway High (Continuation), have relatively low proficiency rates in core subjects compared to the state averages.
The data also reveals that the schools in Chowchilla serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and chronic absenteeism. These socioeconomic challenges may contribute to the disparities in academic performance observed across the district. Addressing these issues and implementing targeted strategies to improve outcomes at the high school level could be key focus areas for the Chowchilla Union High, Chowchilla Elementary, and Alview-Dairyland Union Elementary districts.
