Summary:
The Brawley Elementary school district in California consists of 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools (Phil D. Swing Elementary, Myron D. Witter Elementary, J.W. Oakley Elementary, and Miguel Hidalgo Elementary) and 1 middle school (Barbara Worth Junior High).
Among the elementary schools, Myron D. Witter Elementary stands out as the highest-performing, with the best standardized test scores in English Language Arts and Math compared to the other schools and the district and state averages. In contrast, the other elementary schools, particularly J.W. Oakley Elementary, lag behind significantly in academic performance.
Across the Brawley Elementary district, there are concerns about high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.4% to 48.2% in the 2022-2023 school year, as well as low overall test scores compared to state averages. Additionally, the schools serve a population with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges. While Myron D. Witter Elementary stands out as a relative bright spot, the district as a whole has room for improvement in addressing these key issues and raising student achievement.
