Summary:
The city of Somerset, California is home to a diverse set of 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 1 middle school. While the schools vary in size and performance, the data provides valuable insights into the strengths and challenges of each institution.
Pioneer Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school, with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades. In contrast, Mountain Creek Middle lags behind the district and state averages in Mathematics proficiency, with only 6.9% of 6th graders and 20% of 7th graders meeting or exceeding standards. Indian Diggings Elementary, with its extremely small student population of just 10 students, may face unique challenges in terms of resources and providing a well-rounded educational experience.
Across the district, socioeconomic factors appear to play a role, as schools with higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, such as Mountain Creek Middle, tend to have lower academic performance. Additionally, chronic absenteeism rates vary, with Pioneer Elementary having the highest rate at 39.3% and Indian Diggings Elementary having the lowest at 26.7%. These insights can inform decision-making and resource allocation to support student success across the Pioneer Union and Indian Diggings Elementary districts.
