Summary:
The city of Fort Bragg, California is home to 8 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The schools in this area serve a diverse student population with a significant Hispanic/Latino representation, and a majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income community.
Among the standout schools in Fort Bragg, Fort Bragg High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.6% and a lower dropout rate of 2.8% compared to the other high schools in the area. Three Rivers Charter School also excels, outperforming the state average in several test score categories, including ELA and Math for grades 3, 5, 6, and 8, and having a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 27.9%. However, the Lighthouse Community Day School has very low graduation rates (8.3%) and high dropout rates (50.0%), despite having the lowest student-teacher ratio among the high schools.
Overall, the schools in the Fort Bragg Unified School District and the Three Rivers Charter District face challenges, with the district's test scores generally lower than the state averages, particularly in Math. The high rates of chronic absenteeism, especially at the elementary and middle school levels, are also a concern that the district may need to address to improve academic outcomes for all students.
