Summary:
The city of Salton City, California is home to two struggling schools - Sea View Elementary and West Shores High, both of which serve students in the Coachella Valley Unified School District. These schools face significant challenges, with consistently low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and poor statewide rankings.
Across both schools, proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are alarmingly low, falling well below the district and state averages. For example, Sea View Elementary's ELA proficiency rates range from 15% to 25%, while the district and state averages are around 25-47%. The math proficiency rates at Sea View Elementary are even lower, ranging from just 9% to 19%, compared to district and state averages of 15-46%. West Shores High's performance is similarly dismal, with ELA proficiency rates around 26-33% and math proficiency rates as low as 5-7%, far behind the district and state.
Attendance and graduation rates are also major concerns. Both schools have extremely high chronic absenteeism, with Sea View Elementary at 52% and West Shores High at 47%, significantly higher than the state average of 15-20%. West Shores High also struggles with a low four-year graduation rate of 74% and a high dropout rate of 19%, compared to state averages of 85-90% and 10-15%, respectively. Additionally, both schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 90% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
