Summary:
The John Swett Unified district in California consists of four schools serving grades K-12, with a total enrollment of about 1,200 students, though it ranks in the lower quarter of districts statewide.
Among the schools, John Swett High stands out as the strongest performer, with the highest state ranking, the best test scores (especially in English), and the highest graduation rate among the comprehensive schools. Carquinez Middle and Rodeo Hills Elementary show similar academic performance levels, with math proficiency being a particular challenge across all grade levels. The small Willow High is an interesting case, as it reports the district's highest graduation rate but also has extremely high chronic absenteeism.
Overall, the district graduates students at a rate above the state average, which is a significant strength. However, academic proficiency, especially in math and science, lags behind state averages at every level. Chronic absenteeism is also higher than the state average district-wide, though John Swett High has the best attendance record. Parents should note the variation between schools, with the comprehensive high school showing the most consistent positive outcomes.
