Summary:
The Gonzales Unified school district in California has only one high school, Gonzales High, which serves grades 9-12. With a total enrollment of 809 students, Gonzales High has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate in recent years, currently standing at 1448 out of 2323 California high schools for the 2023-2024 school year.
Gonzales High's overall performance is below average, with a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's four-year graduation rate of 91.7% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 3.9% is higher than the state average. Standardized test scores at Gonzales High are also generally below the state average, with only 39.39% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 10.66% proficient or better in Mathematics.
One area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.0%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Gonzales High has a high percentage of students (93.94%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school faces these challenges, the data suggests that there are opportunities for improvement, such as addressing chronic absenteeism and exploring strategies to better support the needs of its economically disadvantaged students.
