Summary:
The 92054 zip code area of Oceanside, California is home to 7 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. While the schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, there are notable differences in performance across the district.
Palmquist Elementary stands out as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Surfside High (Continuation), the district's continuation high school, has alarmingly low graduation and high dropout rates. The alternative Surfside Academy, however, achieves much better outcomes, with an 80.4% graduation rate and 15.9% dropout rate.
Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue across the district, ranging from 23.9% at Surfside Academy to 82.2% at Surfside High (Continuation). Addressing attendance barriers could be an important step in improving educational outcomes. Overall, the data reveals both areas of strength, such as the high-performing Palmquist Elementary, as well as significant challenges, particularly at the continuation high school level. Further investigation into the factors driving these performance differences could yield valuable insights to help the Oceanside Unified School District better support all students.
