Summary:
The Potter Valley Community Unified school district in California consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across the district.
Potter Valley Elementary stands out with the highest enrollment and generally stronger performance on standardized tests compared to the district and state averages. However, the school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of nearly 30%. In contrast, Potter Valley High has a high graduation rate but struggles academically, with 0% proficiency in some subjects.
Across the district, there are high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by the middle and high schools. The district could focus on addressing chronic absenteeism, implementing targeted interventions, and exploring ways to better support economically disadvantaged families to improve student outcomes.
