Mountain Empire Unified


Summary:

The Mountain Empire Unified school district serves 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools. The district faces significant challenges, with many schools struggling with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

While Descanso Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with strong test scores and a 4-star statewide ranking, other schools like Hillside Junior/Senior High and Sunrise High (Continuation) also show promise, with relatively high graduation rates compared to the district average. However, the district as a whole performs below the state average on standardized assessments, and chronic absenteeism is a significant issue across many of the schools.

The data highlights the need for the Mountain Empire Unified district to implement targeted interventions and support to address the disparities in school performance and the challenges facing its student population. By identifying and sharing best practices from the district's high-performing schools, the district may be able to drive meaningful improvements in student outcomes across all of its schools.
