Summary:

The Calexico Unified school district consists of 11 schools serving grades K-12 in a high-need community, where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch and the district ranks in the bottom 11th percentile statewide.

Within the district, Calexico High stands out as the strongest performer, with graduation and English proficiency rates above the state average, while Cesar Chavez Elementary is the top elementary school. In contrast, Rockwood Elementary faces significant challenges, including the highest chronic absenteeism and lowest academic ranking, and the two middle schools show a notable divide, with Enrique Camarena Junior High performing better than William Moreno Junior High.

Key takeaways include a clear link between high chronic absenteeism and low academic performance, a district-wide struggle particularly in science and at the elementary level, and the notable success of the comprehensive high school despite the high-poverty environment. The continuation school, Aurora High (Continuation), has the highest per-student spending but the weakest outcomes, highlighting areas for potential resource review.
