However, the data also reveals significant disparities in educational outcomes within the 94544 zip code area. While some schools are performing well, others, such as Tennyson High, Cesar Chavez Middle, and Glassbrook Elementary, struggle with low test scores, high dropout rates, and high chronic absenteeism. The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients across the schools suggest that socioeconomic factors play a significant role in student performance, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students.
