Golden Valley Unified


Summary:

The Golden Valley Unified school district in California consists of 9 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 3 alternative schools. The data reveals significant differences in performance and metrics between the traditional public schools and the alternative schools, with the alternative schools serving a higher-needs population and struggling academically.

Stone Creek Elementary and Sierra View Elementary stand out as the top-performing elementary schools in the district, with strong test scores and low chronic absenteeism. Meanwhile, Ranchos Middle is a bright spot, consistently ranking in the top half of California middle schools and outperforming the district and state averages on assessments.

The district's high schools, such as Liberty High, have strong graduation rates and low dropout rates, but their test scores are slightly below the state average. The alternative schools, like Independence Continuation High and Centennial Independent Study, struggle with much lower test scores, higher dropout rates, and higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting potential equity concerns that the district may need to address.
