Summary:

The Center Joint Unified school district includes five elementary schools (grades K-6) in California, ranking in the 34th percentile statewide, with significant performance differences between its campuses.

Rex Fortune Elementary is the clear standout, ranking in the 58th percentile with the highest test scores, the lowest chronic absenteeism at 9.7%, and the smallest classes. In contrast, Arthur S. Dudley Elementary faces the greatest challenges, ranking in the 14th percentile with the lowest scores and the highest chronic absenteeism at 29.7%.
