Summary:
The 95546 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 2 high schools, serving a predominantly rural and economically disadvantaged community. While the data reveals stark disparities in academic performance, with some schools excelling and others struggling significantly, the overall picture highlights the unique challenges faced by these rural, high-poverty institutions.
Hoopa Valley High School stands out as the top performer, with a 3-star rating, a strong 96.6% 4-year graduation rate, and a 0% dropout rate, significantly better than the district and state averages. In contrast, Captain John Continuation High and the other schools in the data set face significant challenges, with very low test scores and alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 43.7% to 95.2%, well above the state average of 14%.
The data also reveals the high levels of economic disadvantage in the student populations, with free/reduced lunch eligibility rates ranging from 61.54% at Jack Norton Elementary to 88.89% at Weitchpec Elementary. These factors, combined with the remote geographic location, likely contribute to the struggles these schools face in achieving strong academic outcomes. Targeted interventions and support focused on improving attendance, providing additional academic assistance, and addressing the unique needs of rural, high-poverty communities could be beneficial in addressing the disparities observed in the data.
