Charter Oak Unified

The Charter Oak Unified school district in California serves students from elementary through high school, with a total of 10 schools including 5 elementary, 1 middle, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with some standout elementary campuses and room for improvement at the secondary level.

Washington Elementary and Willow Elementary are the district's top-performing schools, consistently scoring above the state and district averages on standardized tests. In contrast, the high schools and alternative programs lag behind, with lower graduation rates and test scores. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern across the district, with several schools reporting rates over 25%.

While the elementary and middle schools generally perform well, the data shows a clear divide in outcomes between the lower and upper grade levels. Understanding the practices at the high-performing elementary schools could provide insights to improve performance at the secondary level. Additionally, addressing the district's high rates of economic disadvantage and chronic absenteeism may be key to supporting student success across all Charter Oak Unified schools.
