Summary:
The city of Orangevale, California is home to 12 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The data reveals a wide range of academic performance across these schools, with some standouts like Green Oaks Fundamental Elementary and Pershing Elementary consistently performing above district and state averages on standardized tests. In contrast, other schools like Ottomon Way Elementary struggle with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates.
The data also highlights the importance of school culture and leadership, as the top-performing schools seem to have factors beyond just demographics contributing to their success. For example, American River Collegiate Academy, a small charter school, has impressive test scores despite its size. Meanwhile, Casa Roble Fundamental High stands out with a strong 95.2% four-year graduation rate and a low 3.6% dropout rate.
Overall, the data suggests that while there are pockets of excellence in the Orangevale school system, there is also a need for more targeted interventions and support to address the challenges faced by lower-performing schools. By learning from the practices of the high-achieving schools and implementing them more broadly, the San Juan Unified and other local districts may be able to help close the performance gaps and ensure all students in Orangevale have access to a quality education.
