The 94803 zip code area in West Contra Costa County is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the West Contra Costa Unified School District. The data reveals a stark divide in academic performance, with Olinda Elementary and Valley View Elementary significantly outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests, while schools like De Anza High and Betty Reid Soskin Middle lag behind.
Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern across the schools in this area, ranging from 26.2% at Betty Reid Soskin Middle to 41.5% at Sheldon Elementary. This is substantially higher than the state average.
