Montebello Unified

Summary:

The Montebello Unified School District in California serves 29 schools, including 17 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, and 6 high schools. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with some schools like Potrero Heights Elementary and Bella Vista Elementary consistently outperforming the district and state averages, while others like Suva Elementary and Montebello Community Day struggle to meet proficiency targets.

The high schools in the district also show a wide range of outcomes, with Applied Technology Center boasting the highest graduation rate (89.1%) and the lowest dropout rate (10%), while Vail High (Continuation) has a graduation rate of just 57.3%. Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern across the district, with rates ranging from 0% at Vail High (Continuation) to 75% at Montebello Community Day.

The data suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in student performance, as schools with higher percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower proficiency rates on state assessments. Addressing these disparities and providing targeted support to struggling schools will be crucial for the Montebello Unified School District to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.
