Summary:
The Rim of the World Unified school district in California contains two high schools: Rim of the World Senior High and Mountain High. While Rim of the World Senior High appears to be a relatively strong-performing school, Mountain High is struggling significantly across multiple metrics.
Rim of the World Senior High has a higher statewide ranking, better graduation rates, lower dropout rates, and higher proficiency scores on standardized tests compared to Mountain High and the overall Rim of the World Unified district. In contrast, Mountain High has a very low statewide ranking, extremely high dropout rates, and significantly lower test scores than the district and state averages.
The stark contrast in performance between the two schools is noteworthy, and the high chronic absenteeism rate at Mountain High is a major concern. Both schools serve a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the district may be serving a socioeconomically disadvantaged population. Further investigation into the underlying reasons for the differences in performance could help identify opportunities for improvement at the struggling Mountain High.
