Summary:
The Lakeside Union school district in California serves two elementary schools: Donald E. Suburu and Lakeside. While both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, the data reveals a significant performance gap between the two, with Lakeside outperforming Donald E. Suburu across most academic measures.
Lakeside is the higher-performing school, with better test scores in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics compared to district and state averages. In contrast, Donald E. Suburu has consistently lower test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates significantly below state averages.
The data also shows that Donald E. Suburu has a higher free and reduced lunch rate of 70.77%, compared to 60.48% at Lakeside, indicating that the student population at Donald E. Suburu may face more socioeconomic challenges. The district should investigate the underlying causes of these disparities and ensure that all students have access to the same educational opportunities, regardless of their school or socioeconomic background.
