High Schools in Caruthers Unified

The Caruthers Unified school district in California is home to two high schools: Caruthers High and MARC High. Based on the available data, Caruthers High appears to be the stronger-performing school, with higher statewide rankings, better test scores, and a higher graduation rate compared to MARC High.

Caruthers High has a statewide ranking of 933 out of 2,323 California high schools and a SchoolDigger rating of 3 out of 5 stars. It boasts a graduation rate of 98.2% and a dropout rate of just 0.6%. In contrast, MARC High has a much lower statewide ranking of 2,203 out of 2,426 schools and a SchoolDigger rating of 0 out of 5 stars. Its graduation rate is 78.6%, and its dropout rate is 21.4%.

Both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 89.67% of Caruthers High students and 72.73% of MARC High students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The chronic absenteeism rates are also high, with Caruthers High at 20.5% and MARC High at an alarming 59.4%. These factors may contribute to the performance differences between the two schools and suggest that the district may need to focus on addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged students and improving attendance across all its schools.
