Summary:
The city of San Bruno, California is home to 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals stark differences in academic performance across these schools, with some standouts like Monte Verde Elementary and Portola Elementary ranking among the top schools in the state, while others like Belle Air Elementary struggle with significantly lower proficiency rates.
The high-performing schools, such as Monte Verde and Portola, boast over 75% and 65% proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics, respectively, far exceeding the district and state averages. In contrast, the lower-performing schools have proficiency rates well below the district and state. This disparity in academic achievement appears to be correlated with socioeconomic factors, as the schools with the highest free and reduced lunch rates tend to have the lowest performance.
Despite the uneven landscape, Capuchino High, the only high school in the data set, stands out as a bright spot, with a high 4-year graduation rate of 94.7% and relatively strong test scores compared to the district and state. The data suggests that the San Bruno school district could benefit from targeted interventions and resource allocation to support the lower-performing schools and address the disparities in educational outcomes across the community.
