Summary:
The Lompoc Unified school district in California is home to four high schools: Lompoc High, Cabrillo High, Maple High, and Dr. Bob Forinash Community Day. The data reveals significant performance disparities between these schools, with Cabrillo High standing out as the top-performing school in the district.
Cabrillo High boasts the highest statewide ranking, graduation rate, and lowest dropout rate among the four high schools. It also outperforms the district and state averages on standardized test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels. In contrast, Maple High and Dr. Bob Forinash Community Day appear to be the lowest-performing schools, with much lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and lower graduation rates.
The data also reveals high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across all the schools, suggesting a significant level of economic disadvantage in the Lompoc Unified district. This, along with the wide variation in student-teacher ratios, may be contributing factors to the performance disparities observed between the schools. The district should closely examine these factors and implement targeted interventions to support the lower-performing schools in improving student outcomes.
