Summary:
The city of Colusa, California is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 middle school, 2 high schools (1 regular and 1 alternative), and 1 alternative school. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools, with George T. Egling Middle and the alternative schools lagging far behind Colusa High in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Math, and Science.
The schools in Colusa serve a high-need student population, with 54.89% to 79.17% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. Chronic absenteeism is a major issue, particularly at the alternative schools, where rates range from 50% to 92.1%. While Colusa High maintains a strong 96.3% graduation rate, the alternative schools have much lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates, indicating a need for more support and interventions for at-risk students.
Overall, the analysis of the Colusa school data reveals a Colusa Unified School District with significant challenges, particularly in its middle and alternative school offerings. Targeted interventions and support will be crucial to improving outcomes for the students in this community.
