Summary:
The Pasadena Unified School District in California encompasses 19 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 6 high schools, and 1 alternative school. These schools serve a diverse student population and exhibit a wide range of academic performance, graduation rates, and other key metrics.
Some of the standout schools in the district include Field (Eugene) Elementary, which has the highest performance on state assessments and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate among elementary schools. Hamilton Elementary and Don Benito Fundamental are also high-performing elementary schools. At the high school level, Marshall Fundamental stands out with the highest graduation rate and lowest dropout rate, as well as the best test scores in the district. Pasadena High is also a strong performer, ranking 4 out of 5 stars and having the second-best graduation rate.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance, graduation rates, and other key metrics between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools in the district. There appears to be a correlation between the socioeconomic status of the student population, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance. The schools with the lowest chronic absenteeism rates also tend to have the highest academic achievement, underscoring the importance of consistent attendance. The alternative and continuation schools in the district, such as CIS Academy and Rose City High (Continuation), face particularly daunting challenges, with low graduation rates and poor academic performance, suggesting a need for additional support and resources.
