In contrast, Sierra Primary, while ranking low statewide, stands out for serving a high-need population with 84.78% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch.
Across the schools, proficiency rates on state assessments are generally low, with most falling well below the statewide averages. Chronic absenteeism is a significant issue, ranging from 20.2% at Mt. Lassen Charter to 66% at Herlong High. The schools serve economically disadvantaged populations, with free/reduced lunch eligibility ranging from 63.27% to 90.24%. These challenges suggest the need for further investigation and targeted support to improve outcomes for students in this Fort Sage Unified school district.
