Summary:
The Geyserville Unified school district in California is home to two high schools: Geyserville New Technical Academy and Buena Vista High. While both schools face challenges, the data suggests that Geyserville New Technical Academy is the stronger performer of the two.
Geyserville New Technical Academy has a higher statewide ranking, better graduation and dropout rates, and stronger test scores across English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to both the district and state averages. The school has a student-teacher ratio of 10:1 and a 50% rate of free/reduced lunch recipients. In contrast, Buena Vista High has a lower statewide ranking, no available data on graduation or dropout rates, and a student-teacher ratio of 18.7:1 with 66.67% of students receiving free/reduced lunch.
A key area of concern for both schools is their high chronic absenteeism rates, with Buena Vista High reporting a concerning 100% rate. This is an issue the district should investigate and address, as chronic absenteeism is closely linked to lower academic achievement and graduation rates. Overall, the data highlights the need for the Geyserville Unified district to closely examine the performance and challenges of both high schools, with a focus on supporting the unique needs of their student populations.
