The schools in this area serve high-need student populations, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 54.89% to 79.17%.
At George T. Egling Middle School, only around 30% of students meet or exceed standards in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, and the school has a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8%. In contrast, Colusa High performs better, with 46.34% of students meeting ELA standards and 18.03% meeting Math standards. However, the alternative high school, Colusa Alternative High (Continuation), struggles immensely, with proficiency rates around 30% in ELA and less than 10% in Math, as well as a staggering 92.1% chronic absenteeism rate.
Despite the challenges faced by some schools in the 95932 zip code area, the alternative schools appear to be serving an important role in providing alternative graduation pathways for struggling students. While their academic performance is low, these schools maintain relatively high graduation rates, suggesting they are a vital part of the Colusa Unified district's educational ecosystem. Addressing the issues of chronic absenteeism and improving academic proficiency across all schools in the area will be crucial for enhancing educational outcomes for students.
