Summary:
The Hamilton City, California school district consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary school and 2 high schools, one of which is an alternative high school. The data reveals a complex picture, with both areas of strength and significant challenges across the schools.
Hamilton High School appears to be the strongest performer, ranking 1223 out of 2323 California high schools and outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts/Literacy proficiency. However, the school lags behind in Mathematics proficiency. In contrast, Ella Barkley High School, the alternative high school, struggles with very low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and low graduation rates.
The data also reveals significant socioeconomic challenges, with very high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility across the schools. This likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by these schools, highlighting the importance of considering the broader context and barriers when evaluating their performance. Overall, the analysis suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of these students and communities served by the Hamilton Unified school district.
