Vallecito Union

Summary:

The Vallecito Union district in California serves students from elementary through middle school, with three schools in the area. While the district faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, two of the schools, Albert A. Michelson Elementary and Avery Middle, consistently outperform the district and state averages in academic proficiency, earning top rankings from SchoolDigger.

Albert A. Michelson Elementary and Avery Middle stand out with their strong academic performance, ranking in the top 25% and top 20% of California schools, respectively. Both schools have lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to the other elementary school, Hazel Fischer Elementary, which lags behind the district and state averages in several subject areas.

The data also reveals socioeconomic factors that may contribute to the academic performance disparities, with Avery Middle and Hazel Fischer Elementary serving a higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and providing targeted support to meet the diverse needs of the student population could be crucial for improving overall educational outcomes in the Vallecito Union district.
