Summary:
The Red Bluff Union Elementary school district in California serves students from preschool through 8th grade across 4 schools: 3 elementary schools (Bidwell Elementary, Jackson Heights Elementary, and William M. Metteer Elementary) and 1 middle school (Vista Preparatory Academy).
Bidwell Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with the strongest test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as the highest 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Jackson Heights Elementary also performs well, with the second-highest test scores in the district. However, the district as a whole struggles with low academic performance, particularly in Mathematics, and high chronic absenteeism rates, which are much higher than the state average.
The schools in the Red Bluff Union Elementary district serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility. This, combined with relatively high student-teacher ratios, likely contributes to the district's challenges in improving student outcomes. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and community partnerships to support student and family needs.
