Summary:
The city of Citrus Heights, California is home to 12 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, all part of the San Juan Unified School District. The district is ranked 923 out of 1,568 districts in California and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating a mixed performance across the schools.
A few schools stand out as performing better than others. Cambridge Heights Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state with a 4-star rating and significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. Woodside K-8 and Skycrest Elementary also perform well, ranking in the top half of California elementary schools with above-average proficiency rates.
However, the data reveals a wide range of academic performance across the schools. The two high schools, Mesa Verde High and San Juan High, have graduation rates below the state average, and several schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, which likely contribute to lower academic outcomes. The data suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, with schools serving more economically disadvantaged students tending to have lower proficiency rates.
