Summary:
The city of Oroville, California is home to 27 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 13 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 5 high schools, and 5 alternative schools. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance, graduation rates, and other key metrics across the schools in the area, suggesting that students may not have equal access to quality education.
A few schools stand out as bright spots, including STREAM Charter, a public charter elementary/middle school with relatively strong academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism, and Plumas Avenue Elementary, an elementary school in the Thermalito Union Elementary district with above-average test scores and lower chronic absenteeism. In contrast, alternative schools like Prospect High (Continuation) and Come Back Butte Charter struggle with very low academic proficiency, high dropout rates, and high chronic absenteeism.
Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the significant disparities in educational outcomes across Oroville's schools. While some schools are performing well, many others face challenges that could contribute to broader socioeconomic issues in the community. Improving student attendance and ensuring all students have access to a high-quality education will be crucial for the district moving forward.
