Summary:
The Bonsall Unified School District operates three public schools serving grades K-12 in the Bonsall, California area, with all schools sharing a mid-range state ranking and forming a complete educational pathway from elementary to high school.
For parents, the standout is Norman L. Sullivan Middle School, which boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 1.3% and leads the district in science proficiency. Bonsall Elementary School shows strength in early mathematics and improving English scores through the grades. Bonsall High School presents a mix of positives and challenges, with a strong 90.1% graduation rate and low dropout rate but concerningly low proficiency in mathematics and science compared to the district and state.
Key takeaways for the Bonsall Unified include a noticeable decline in math performance from elementary to high school, despite higher per-student spending at the high school level. English performance is consistently solid across all three schools. The dramatic difference in chronic absenteeism between the middle school and the other two schools is striking and suggests potential areas for the district to study and share successful strategies.
