Summary:
The Sierra-Plumas Joint Unified school district in California is home to three public high schools serving grades 7-12: Loyalton High, Downieville Junior-Senior High, and Sierra Pass (Continuation). While the district as a whole has room for improvement, Loyalton High stands out as the top-performing school, boasting impressive academic results, high graduation rates, and low dropout rates.
With an enrollment of 161 students, Loyalton High consistently outperforms the district and state averages on Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also has a remarkable 95.5% 4-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, significantly better than the state average. In contrast, Downieville Junior-Senior High, with just 20 students, has a lower student-teacher ratio of 7:1, which could contribute to more personalized attention for its students.
While Sierra Pass (Continuation) lacks complete data, the district as a whole is ranked 858 out of 1,568 districts in California and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. This suggests there is room for improvement in the district's overall performance. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients at Loyalton High and Downieville Junior-Senior High indicate the need for targeted support and resources to address the needs of economically disadvantaged students.
