Summary:
The Cabrillo Unified School District in California serves 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative high school). The data reveals stark differences in academic performance across the district, with Farallone View Elementary significantly outperforming the other schools, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. Meanwhile, the alternative high school, Pilarcitos Alternative High, struggles with very low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and extremely high chronic absenteeism.
The data also highlights potential equity concerns, as higher free/reduced lunch rates are correlated with lower academic performance across the district. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in student outcomes. Additionally, the high student-teacher ratios, especially at Farallone View Elementary and Pilarcitos Alternative High, may be impacting the schools' ability to provide personalized attention and support to students.
While Farallone View Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, the data also reveals declining performance over time for some schools, such as Half Moon Bay High. This suggests that the Cabrillo Unified School District may need to address these challenges to ensure equitable and high-quality education for all students across the district.
