Paradise Unified


Summary:

The Paradise Unified school district in California consists of 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals stark disparities in academic performance between the higher-performing and lower-performing schools in the district, suggesting significant inequities in resources and other factors that contribute to student success.

Paradise Ridge Elementary stands out as the top-performing school, with the highest standardized test scores and a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Ridgeview High (Continuation), a continuation high school serving a more challenged student population, maintains a respectable 84.6% graduation rate but struggles with high chronic absenteeism and low test scores. The district's alternative school, Paradise eLearning Academy, has an impressive 96.3% graduation rate but also faces high chronic absenteeism.

Across the district, chronic absenteeism is a significant concern, ranging from 28.4% at Paradise Ridge Elementary to 86.3% at Ridgeview High (Continuation). Additionally, the high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, especially at the lower-performing schools, suggest a potential correlation between poverty and academic achievement that warrants further investigation.
