Summary:
The city of Paso Robles, California is home to 14 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, serving students from diverse backgrounds. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across these schools, with some standout performers and others struggling to provide equitable educational opportunities.
Paso Robles High and Independence High stand out with relatively high 4-year graduation rates of 91.3% and 90.0%, respectively, while Liberty High (Continuation) has a lower rate of 73.3%. Academically, Kermit King Elementary shines with the highest performance on state assessments, while Almond Acres Charter Academy also performs well above the state average in both English Language Arts and Math.
Chronic absenteeism is a concern across the district, with several schools exceeding 25%, including Glen Speck Elementary at 42.0% and Liberty High (Continuation) at 72.0%. Additionally, there appears to be a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with lower-income schools generally struggling more on state assessments. The Paso Robles Joint Unified and Almond Acres Charter Academy District will need to address these disparities to ensure all students in the area receive a high-quality education.
