Summary:
The North Monterey County Unified School District serves 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, in a predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged area. While some schools, like Prunedale Elementary and Castroville Elementary, perform better on academic measures, the district as a whole lags behind state averages, with significant disparities in performance between schools.
The data reveals that Elkhorn Elementary has the lowest student-teacher ratio, which could be a strength, while Echo Valley Elementary has the highest ratio. The North Monterey County Center for Independent Study stands out with a 0.0% chronic absenteeism rate, far better than the other schools. However, Central Bay High (Continuation) has the lowest academic performance, with only 3.57% of 11th graders proficient in English Language Arts and 0% proficient in Math and Science.
Overall, the North Monterey County Unified School District faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, with wide disparities in performance across the different schools. Targeted interventions and additional resources may be needed to address these issues and improve student success.
