Summary:
The Coalinga-Huron Unified school district in California is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with schools generally underperforming state averages, a few standout schools emerge from the data.
Sunset Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 4165 out of 5862 California elementary schools and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Sunset Elementary outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, and had the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 19.6%. Nell Dawson Elementary also performed better than the district average in core subjects.
However, the data reveals systemic challenges across the Coalinga-Huron Unified district, with all schools performing well below state averages in academic proficiency. High rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage, as indicated by free and reduced lunch eligibility, may be contributing factors to the district's low performance. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and support could be crucial in driving better outcomes for the district's schools.
