Eureka City Schools

The Eureka City Schools district in California consists of 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The data reveals significant disparities in performance between the schools, with Eureka Senior High and Washington Elementary standing out as the top-performing schools in the district.

Eureka Senior High has the highest enrollment, graduation rate, and lowest dropout rate, but its test scores are generally below the state average. In contrast, Zoe Barnum High, an alternative high school, has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 92.6% and a low graduation rate of 57.4%, with significantly weaker test scores compared to the district and state. Washington Elementary, on the other hand, has relatively strong test scores and a lower chronic absenteeism rate than the district average.

The data also reveals high free/reduced lunch rates at many of the schools, particularly the elementary schools, indicating that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in student outcomes. Addressing attendance issues and ensuring equitable access to resources and support for these students could be important areas of focus for the district to improve overall performance and reduce the disparities between the schools.
