Rowland Unified

Summary:

The Rowland Unified School District in California serves 21 schools, including 14 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district showcases a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with significant disparities in student outcomes and demographics across the schools.

Among the standout schools are John A. Rowland High School, which ranks in the top 309 high schools in California and boasts a 94% four-year graduation rate, as well as Stanley G. Oswalt Academy, a top-performing K-8 school that ranks in the top 1,025 elementary schools in the state. Other high-performing elementary schools include Blandford Elementary and Shelyn Elementary.

However, the district also faces challenges, with schools like Santana High (Continuation) and Rowland Unified Community Day struggling with high dropout rates and chronic absenteeism. The data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, underscoring the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Rowland Unified School District.
