Summary:
The schools in the city of Yreka, California, serve a diverse range of students, from elementary to high school, as well as alternative and special education programs. With 7 schools across the Yreka Union High, Yreka Union Elementary, Northern United - Siskiyou Charter District, and Siskiyou County Office of Education districts, the data reveals a wide range of academic performance and challenges facing the schools in this area.
Yreka High School stands out as the largest and highest-performing high school, with a strong 95.1% four-year graduation rate and above-average test scores. In contrast, the alternative schools, such as Northern United - Siskiyou Charter and Discovery High, struggle academically, with lower graduation rates and proficiency levels. Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue across the district, particularly at Evergreen Elementary, Jackson Street Elementary, and Discovery High.
The data also reveals high rates of economic disadvantage, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 32.84% at Siskiyou County Special Education to 86.18% at Northern United - Siskiyou Charter. These disparities in performance and economic challenges suggest that the schools in Yreka face significant equity concerns that warrant further investigation and targeted support to improve outcomes for all students.
