Summary:
The city of Clarksburg, California is home to three schools: Delta Elementary Charter, Delta High, and Clarksburg Middle. These schools serve students from elementary through high school and are part of the Delta Elementary Charter District and the River Delta Joint Unified District.
Among the three schools, Delta Elementary Charter stands out with relatively strong test scores, particularly in 5th grade English Language Arts and 3rd grade Mathematics. However, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years. In contrast, Delta High has a strong 100% four-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, but its Mathematics test scores are significantly below the state average. The lowest-performing school in the area is Clarksburg Middle, with test scores well below the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, and a concerning 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
A common challenge across the schools is high chronic absenteeism rates, with Clarksburg Middle having the highest at 27.6%. This issue likely contributes to the poor academic performance observed at some of the schools. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at Delta High and Clarksburg Middle, suggest that these schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may also be a factor in their lower academic outcomes. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions and collaboration between the schools could help to improve educational opportunities for all students in the Clarksburg area.
