High Schools in Fall River Joint Unified

The Fall River Joint Unified school district in California is home to 5 high schools, including 2 comprehensive high schools and 3 continuation/alternative schools. The data reveals significant disparities in performance between the top-performing comprehensive high schools and the lower-performing continuation and alternative schools in the district.

Fall River Junior-Senior High and Burney Junior-Senior High are the district's top-performing high schools, ranking in the top 50% of California high schools. These schools boast high graduation rates, low dropout rates, and generally above-average test scores. In contrast, the continuation and alternative schools, such as Mountain View High, Fall River Community Day, and Soldier Mountain High, tend to have lower performance metrics, higher chronic absenteeism, and serve more economically disadvantaged student populations.

The data suggests a clear correlation between higher rates of economic disadvantage and poorer performance metrics, with the continuation and alternative schools serving a much higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Addressing the needs of these most vulnerable student populations will be crucial for improving overall outcomes across the Fall River Joint Unified school district.
