Summary:
The 93204 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (1 regular and 1 continuation). Overall, the schools in this area perform poorly compared to state averages, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and low rankings from SchoolDigger.
The Avenal High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 93.2% and a low dropout rate of 2.5%, but its test scores are significantly below state averages. In contrast, Tamarack Elementary has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 35.8% and test scores that are also well below state standards. The Sunrise High (Continuation) school has particularly concerning metrics, with a 36.8% dropout rate and 0% proficiency in Math and ELA.
The schools in the 93204 zip code area are all part of the Reef-Sunset Unified School District, which is ranked 1467 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests the district as a whole is struggling, and the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients (over 85% for all schools) indicate a high level of economic disadvantage in the community.
