Summary:
The Linden Unified district serves approximately 2,300 students across six public schools in California, including three elementary schools, one middle school, one traditional high school, and a continuation high school, all of which serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Academic performance varies significantly across the district. Waterloo Elementary (the middle school) is the top performer, ranking in the 59th percentile statewide with strong test scores and the district's lowest chronic absenteeism at 12.5%. Linden Elementary excels in mathematics, outperforming the state average. Glenwood Elementary has shown impressive improvement, while Waverly Elementary has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking.
Linden High achieves a remarkable 99.5% graduation rate, far above the state average, despite test scores that trail state benchmarks. The district's biggest challenge is at Pride Continuation High School, which has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 76.5%, though it still maintains a 95.8% graduation rate for its small, at-risk student population.
