Galt Joint Union High

The Galt Joint Union High school district in California serves three high schools: Liberty Ranch High, Galt High, and Estrellita Continuation High. Based on the data analysis, Liberty Ranch High stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with higher academic achievement, graduation rates, and overall rankings compared to the other two schools.

Liberty Ranch High has the highest statewide ranking at 276 out of 2,323 California high schools and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It also boasts the highest graduation rate at 98.2% and the lowest dropout rate at 0.7%. In contrast, Galt High is ranked 776th, and Estrellita Continuation High is ranked 2,045th. Estrellita Continuation High, as an alternative school, faces significant challenges, with a graduation rate of only 63.4% and much lower test scores across all subject areas.

The data also reveals disparities in student demographics, with Estrellita Continuation High and Galt High serving a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by their higher free/reduced lunch rates. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively similar across the schools, other factors, such as teaching quality and school resources, may contribute to the performance differences observed. The district may benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions to address the needs of all students and improve educational outcomes.
