Summary:
The 93555 zip code area in California is home to 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the Sierra Sands Unified School District. The data reveals a wide range of performance across these schools, with some standout performers and others struggling to meet state standards.
Burroughs High, the district's only comprehensive high school, stands out with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ELA and Math proficiency rates above the district average. In contrast, Mesquite Continuation High faces significant challenges, with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and very high chronic absenteeism. The elementary schools also show variation, with Richmond Elementary standing out as the top performer, while Pierce Elementary and Mesquite Continuation High have the highest rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential equity concerns.
The middle schools, Murray Middle and James Monroe Middle, have relatively low proficiency rates in ELA and Math, which could impact student readiness for high school. This variation in performance across the schools presents an opportunity for the district to identify and share best practices from the higher-performing schools to help improve outcomes at the lower-performing ones.
