Hughson Unified

Summary:

The Hughson Unified School District in California operates 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools (with 1 continuation high school). The district serves a diverse student population with varying academic performance and challenges, such as high rates of chronic absenteeism.

Hughson High School stands out as the district's largest and highest-performing school, with strong graduation rates, low dropout rates, and above-average test scores, particularly in English Language Arts. Emilie J. Ross Middle School has also shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking and has English Language Arts proficiency rates close to or above the state average. Fox Road Elementary excels in Mathematics, with 4th and 5th-grade students scoring above the state average.

However, the district faces significant challenges, particularly at its alternative high schools, Dickens (Billy Joe) High (Continuation) and Valley Community Day, which have the lowest statewide rankings and high chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing these disparities and replicating the successful practices observed at the district's stronger-performing schools could be key focus areas for the Hughson Unified School District.
