Summary:
The Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District in California serves 12 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district's schools demonstrate a wide range of academic performance, with Technology High School standing out as the top-performing school, ranking 16th out of 2,335 California high schools. In contrast, schools like Thomas Page Academy and Richard Crane Elementary struggle, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.
The data reveals a correlation between socioeconomic factors and academic achievement, with schools serving a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students generally performing worse on standardized tests. For example, John Reed Primary has a free/reduced lunch rate of 79.63%, while Technology High School has a rate of only 15.81%. Chronic absenteeism is also a significant concern, with rates ranging from 9.4% at Technology High to 88.5% at El Camino High.
The Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District must address these disparities and focus on strategies to support the lower-performing schools, such as addressing the impact of socioeconomic factors and chronic absenteeism. By doing so, the district can work towards ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students within its schools.
