Summary:
The city of Trona, California is home to two schools - Trona Elementary and Trona High, both of which serve students in the Trona Joint Unified school district. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture of the educational landscape in Trona, as both schools are performing significantly below state averages on a variety of key metrics.
Trona Elementary is ranked 5083 out of 5862 California elementary schools and has a 1-star rating, while Trona High is ranked 2290 out of 2323 California high schools and has a 0-star rating. Both schools have alarmingly low proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to state averages. Chronic absenteeism rates are also extremely high, with Trona Elementary at 43.8% and Trona High at 52.8%. Graduation rates at Trona High are just 60%, with a dropout rate of 28%, indicating that the school is struggling to keep students engaged and on track to graduate.
The data also suggests that the Trona community is facing significant economic challenges, with 70.99% of Trona Elementary students and 75.86% of Trona High students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This high level of economic disadvantage may be contributing to the poor academic performance of the schools. Overall, the Trona school district is in need of significant support and intervention to improve educational outcomes for its students.
