Summary:
The 95987 zip code area is home to 6 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 3 high schools (1 continuation), and 1 alternative school. These schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with very high rates of free/reduced-price lunch recipients. While Williams Junior/Senior High stands out with a relatively high 90.2% 4-year graduation rate, other schools like S. William Abel Academy have struggled, with a low 45.5% graduation rate and high 36.4% dropout rate.
Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue across the schools, with rates ranging from 21.4% at Coastal Buttes Academy to an alarming 88.6% at Mid Valley High (Continuation). Test scores are generally below the state average, though Williams Junior/Senior High performs better than the district average. The smaller alternative and continuation high schools, such as S. William Abel Academy and Mid Valley High, have limited data available, making it difficult to fully assess their current performance.
Overall, the schools in this Williams Unified and Colusa County Office of Education district area face significant challenges in terms of student demographics and academic performance, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to improve outcomes for these students.
