High Schools in Calexico Unified

The Calexico Unified School District in California is home to three high schools: Calexico High, Aurora High (Continuation), and Pinnacle Hall Community Day. While Calexico High stands out as the strongest performer, the data reveals significant disparities in academic achievement and student outcomes across the district's high schools.

Calexico High, the largest school with 2,836 students, boasts the highest 4-year graduation rate at 87.3% and generally higher test scores than the district average, though still below the state average. In contrast, Aurora High (Continuation), a smaller school with 155 students, struggles with a 57.3% graduation rate and a 34.7% dropout rate, along with significantly lower test scores compared to both the district and state. Pinnacle Hall Community Day, the smallest school with just 7 students, stands out with an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 81.8%.

The high free/reduced lunch rates across all three schools, ranging from 80.18% at Calexico High to 98.71% at Aurora High, suggest that the district serves a predominantly low-income student population, which can present additional challenges in terms of academic achievement and resource allocation. Addressing the unique needs of the students at Aurora High (Continuation) and Pinnacle Hall Community Day will be crucial in improving outcomes and ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students in the Calexico Unified School District.
