Summary:
The 17 schools in zip code 95823 serve a diverse range of students, from elementary to high school, including alternative and continuation programs. While some schools, like Fortune and Valley High, stand out with strong performance, the data reveals stark differences in academic outcomes across the area.
Fortune, an alternative charter school, boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 88% but also a concerning 12% dropout rate. In contrast, Valley High in the Elk Grove Unified district outperforms both the district and state averages on key metrics like graduation rates and test scores. Meanwhile, Luther Burbank High and Samuel Jackman Middle, also in Elk Grove Unified, lag behind their counterparts.
The data also highlights the challenges faced by alternative and continuation schools, such as Las Flores High and Rio Cazadero High, which generally have lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and lower test scores compared to traditional high schools. Additionally, chronic absenteeism appears to be a significant concern at several schools, particularly the alternative and continuation programs.
