Summary:
The Yosemite Unified school district in California serves 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the district's schools and state averages, particularly in math and science. Chronic absenteeism is a major issue, especially at the high school level, which likely contributes to the low academic achievement.
Yosemite High stands out as the largest high school with the highest performance on standardized tests among the district's high schools. Rivergold Elementary also excels, with the highest test scores and lower chronic absenteeism compared to other elementary schools. In contrast, the alternative Yosemite Falls Education Center and smaller Ahwahnee High face significant challenges with low test scores, high dropout rates, and very high chronic absenteeism.
Overall, the data suggests the Yosemite Unified district needs to focus on improving curriculum, instruction, and support for struggling students to address the performance gaps and high chronic absenteeism rates across its schools. Targeted interventions and a focus on equity may be needed to ensure all students in the district have access to a high-quality education.
