Chowchilla Union High


Summary:

The Chowchilla Union High School District in California operates two high schools: Chowchilla Union High and Gateway High (Continuation). While Chowchilla Union High is the larger of the two with over 1,000 students and a higher 4-year graduation rate of 92.4%, it also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 25.8%. In contrast, Gateway High, a smaller continuation school, struggles with a much higher dropout rate of 17.2% and an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 65.0%.

Both schools serve a student population with high rates of economic disadvantage, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the challenges faced by these schools. Additionally, test scores at both schools are generally lower than the state average, indicating room for improvement in academic performance.

The stark contrast in performance between the two high schools suggests that the Chowchilla Union High School District should prioritize addressing the issues at Gateway High, while also developing strategies to support students from low-income backgrounds and raise academic achievement across all schools in the district.
