Summary:
The 92203 zip code area in California is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Richard R. Oliphant Elementary and James Monroe Elementary) and 1 middle school (Desert Ridge Academy). These schools serve a student population with high economic disadvantage, as indicated by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility.
Among the three schools, James Monroe Elementary stands out as the highest performing, with a 4-star statewide ranking and significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages. In contrast, Desert Ridge Academy is the lowest performing, with a 1-star ranking and test scores well below the district and state. The chronic absenteeism rates are also high across all three schools, with Richard R. Oliphant Elementary having the highest rate.
The data suggests that addressing attendance issues, providing additional resources for economically disadvantaged students, and optimizing student-teacher ratios could be important areas for the Desert Sands Unified district to focus on in order to improve outcomes across all schools in the 92203 zip code area.
