Summary:
The Alpaugh Unified school district in California serves two schools: Alpaugh Elementary and Alpaugh -Senior High. Both schools are struggling, with consistently low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and poor rankings compared to other schools in the state.
Alpaugh Elementary and Alpaugh -Senior High have significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science than the state average. For example, in 2023-2024, only 14.55% of Alpaugh Elementary students were proficient or better in ELA End of Course, compared to the state average of 47.04%. Both schools also have very high chronic absenteeism rates, far exceeding the state average, at 36.3% and 42.1%, respectively.
The data suggests that the Alpaugh Unified school district faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes and addressing the underlying factors that may be contributing to the schools' poor performance. With both schools performing similarly poorly, there does not appear to be any clear differentiation or standout schools within the district. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility at both schools indicate that the district serves a predominantly low-income population, which may be a contributing factor to the schools' struggles.
