Newhall

The Newhall school district in California serves 10 elementary schools, providing education for students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The district exhibits a wide range of academic performance, with some schools consistently ranking among the top in the state while others struggle to meet proficiency standards.

The top-performing schools in the Newhall district are Stevenson Ranch Elementary, Oak Hills Elementary, and Pico Canyon Elementary. These schools boast impressive test scores, with 70-93% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 58-84% proficient in Math. They also maintain relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7.8% to 12.2%. In contrast, some schools like Dr. J. Michael McGrath Elementary and Newhall Elementary struggle with lower academic achievement and higher chronic absenteeism rates up to 24.2%.

The disparities in student outcomes across the Newhall district suggest the need for the district to examine resource allocation and support for underperforming schools. Additionally, the correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance indicates that addressing student poverty may be a key factor in improving overall educational equity in the district.
