Reef-Sunset Unified

The Reef-Sunset Unified school district in California serves 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (1 regular and 1 continuation), and no alternative schools.

Within the district, a few schools stand out. Kettleman City Elementary has the highest performance across many metrics, with the best proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. Avenal High also performs relatively well, with a strong 4-year graduation rate of 93.2% and a low dropout rate of 2.5%. While Sunrise High (Continuation) has lower proficiency rates, it still manages a respectable 63.2% 4-year graduation rate for a continuation school.

However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than state averages, with the district-wide 11th grade Math proficiency rate at only 5.45% compared to the state average of 27.9%. Chronic absenteeism is also a major issue, ranging from 20.5% at Reef Sunset Middle to 78.1% at Sunrise High (Continuation). Additionally, all schools in the district have very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges.
