Summary:
The city of Newman, California is home to 6 schools serving grades K-12, all part of the Newman-Crows Landing Unified School District. The district is ranked 1286 out of 1568 districts in California and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger. While the district faces challenges, a few standout schools emerge, including Orestimba High School, which outperforms the district and state in academic assessments, and Yolo Junior High School, which has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate.
Orestimba High School is the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 1329 out of 2323 California high schools and rated 2 stars. It boasts a strong 96.4% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.2% dropout rate. In contrast, West Side Valley High (Continuation) struggles, with a much lower 47.6% four-year graduation rate and a corresponding 47.6% dropout rate. Chronic absenteeism is a concern across the district, with several schools exceeding 20%.
Economically, the district faces significant challenges, with all schools having high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.25% at Orestimba High to 62.93% at Hunt Elementary. This indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which likely contributes to the disparities in educational performance observed across the district.
