Summary:
The 95476 zip code area of Sonoma, California is home to 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools in this area, with Sonoma Charter standing out as a top performer, while Creekside High faces significant challenges.
Sonoma Charter, a public charter school, consistently outperforms the Sonoma Charter District and Sonoma Valley Unified district averages across multiple academic measures, including proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, Creekside High, the only alternative high school in the data set, demonstrates significantly lower academic performance and higher dropout rates compared to the traditional Sonoma Valley High.
The data also reveals a potential correlation between higher free and reduced-price lunch rates (a proxy for socioeconomic status) and lower academic performance, with schools like Altimira Middle and El Verano Elementary having higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students and lower proficiency rates. Additionally, the wide range in chronic absenteeism rates, from 15.9% at Adele Harrison Middle to 77.8% at Creekside High, suggests that some schools may face significant challenges in ensuring regular student attendance.
