Summary:

Denair, California, is served by six public schools across two districts, educating students from kindergarten through 12th grade, with a clear divide in performance linked to their different socioeconomic profiles.

The standout district is the Gratton Elementary district, where both Gratton Charter and Gratton Elementary significantly outperform state averages in test scores and boast a perfect 0% chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, the four schools in the Denair Unified district, including Denair Elementary Charter Academy, Denair Middle, and Denair Charter Academy, face greater academic challenges, with proficiency rates generally below state averages.

Despite lower test scores, Denair High excels in a crucial area with a remarkable 98.7% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate. However, parents should note the stark performance differences between the two districts and the unique profile of Denair Charter Academy, which has very high ELA scores for the district but an extremely low math proficiency rate of 4.11%, despite having the smallest class sizes.
