Summary:
The city of Miranda, California is home to two schools - South Fork High School and Miranda Junior High School, both part of the Southern Humboldt Joint Unified school district. While South Fork High has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.9%, it also struggles with a high dropout rate of 10.3% and below-average test scores across English Language Arts, Math, and Science. In contrast, Miranda Junior High has very low state-wide rankings, extremely high chronic absenteeism, and significantly below-average test scores compared to the district and state.
Both schools face challenges with academic performance, with test scores well below state and district averages, particularly in Math and Science. Chronic absenteeism rates are also alarmingly high at over 50% for both schools, likely contributing to the low test scores and other academic difficulties. Additionally, the schools serve a high proportion of students from low-income families, with over 45% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Overall, the data suggests that the schools in Miranda, California are struggling to provide a high-quality education to their students. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the issues of low academic achievement, high absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges faced by these schools. Improving outcomes for students in Miranda will require a concerted effort to address the root causes of these challenges and ensure all students have access to a quality education.
