Summary:
The city of Spring Valley, California, is home to 16 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The data reveals stark performance differences among these schools, with a few standout institutions and several lower-performing ones.
Steele Canyon High stands out as a top performer, boasting a 98.6% four-year graduation rate, a low 0.6% dropout rate, and exceptional test scores that exceed state averages. In contrast, Monte Vista High and Mount Miguel High have lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates. The charter College Preparatory Middle also demonstrates exceptional academic performance, ranking 57th out of 2,777 California middle schools.
Chronic absenteeism rates vary widely, from a low of 1.0% at College Preparatory Middle to a high of 46.9% at Spring Valley Academy. Schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Bancroft Elementary and La Presa Elementary, tend to have lower academic performance. These findings suggest that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and educational programs, play a crucial role in student outcomes.
