The city of Hughson, California is home to 7 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The data reveals a mix of strong-performing and struggling schools in the area, with some standout institutions like Hughson High School leading the way in graduation rates and test scores, while alternative schools like Dickens (Billy Joe) High (Continuation) and Valley Community Day face significant challenges.
Hughson High School stands out with its impressive 97.2% four-year graduation rate and low 2.2% dropout rate, along with above-average test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Dickens (Billy Joe) High (Continuation) and Valley Community Day struggle with much higher dropout rates and chronic absenteeism. Additionally, Barbara Spratling Middle School, which is part of the Keyes Union district, outperforms the Hughson Unified district in several metrics, suggesting potential differences in strategies or resources between the two districts.
The data also highlights equity concerns, with high free and reduced lunch rates across the schools, particularly at Barbara Spratling Middle School, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students in the Hughson area. This raises questions about the availability of resources and support services to address the needs of these students and ensure equitable educational opportunities.
