San Luis Coastal Unified

The San Luis Coastal Unified School District in California encompasses 16 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population with varying levels of academic performance and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Several schools stand out as top performers in the district. Teach Elementary, a 4th-6th grade school, has exceptional academic achievement, with over 80% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Monarch Grove Elementary also ranks in the top 10% of California elementary schools, with 70-80% of students proficient or better in core subjects. At the high school level, San Luis Obispo High stands out with a 96.2% four-year graduation rate and only a 1% dropout rate, placing it in the top 10% of California high schools.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance and student demographics across the district. Schools with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students, such as Hawthorne Elementary and Del Mar Elementary, tend to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing these equity concerns and ensuring all students have access to high-quality education should be a priority for the San Luis Coastal Unified School District.
