Summary:

The Center Joint Unified school district in California consists of eight schools serving about 4,600 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, though its overall academic performance lags behind the state average.

Within the district, Center High is a clear standout, earning a 4-star rating with strong graduation rates and test scores that exceed state averages. Among elementary schools, Rex Fortune Elementary also performs well with the highest test scores and remarkably low student absenteeism. In contrast, McClellan High (Continuation) faces significant challenges, including very high absenteeism and the lowest academic performance.

Parents should note that performance varies widely between schools. While the high school excels, most elementary and middle schools in the district, such as Arthur S. Dudley Elementary, have proficiency rates below state standards. Chronic absenteeism is a district-wide concern, averaging higher than the state. The data suggests examining the successful practices at the top-performing schools could benefit the entire Center Joint Unified district.
