Summary:
The city of South San Francisco, California is home to 12 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The data reveals significant disparities in performance and outcomes between the schools in the district, with some schools like El Camino High and Westborough Middle excelling, while others like Baden High (Continuation) and several elementary schools are struggling.
El Camino High stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking among the top 338-560 high schools in California and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts an impressive 98.6% 4-year graduation rate and only a 0.7% dropout rate, well above the district and state averages. Westborough Middle and Buri Buri Elementary also demonstrate strong academic performance, ranking in the top 351-543 and 938-1208 schools in California, respectively, and earning 4-star ratings.
The data also reveals significant disparities in metrics such as graduation rates, dropout rates, chronic absenteeism, and test scores across the district. These disparities appear to be correlated with the socioeconomic status of the student population, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates. Addressing these disparities and supporting the lower-performing schools will be crucial for ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students in the South San Francisco Unified district.
