Summary:
The two schools in zip code 92275 - Sea View Elementary and West Shores High - are both underperforming significantly compared to state averages, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes. Both schools serve a high-need population, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and they struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, which likely contribute to their poor academic performance.
Sea View Elementary is ranked in the bottom 10% of California elementary schools and has extremely low proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, well below the district and state averages. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, with over 50% of students chronically absent. In contrast, West Shores High is ranked in the bottom 25% of California high schools and has low graduation rates (73.8%) and high dropout rates (19%), as well as poor academic performance with proficiency rates far below state averages.
Addressing the systemic challenges faced by these schools will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to ensure all students have the opportunity to thrive. This may include strategies to improve attendance and engagement, as well as targeted interventions and additional resources to support the high-need populations served by these schools. By working to address the underlying factors contributing to the achievement gaps, the Coachella Valley Unified district can help these schools provide a high-quality education to their students.
