Summary:
The Oceanside Unified School District in California serves a diverse population of students across 24 schools, including 15 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals significant disparities in performance and resources across the district, with some schools consistently outperforming others.
At the top of the district, North Terrace Elementary and Ivey Ranch Elementary stand out for their high academic achievement, with 55-66% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 40-55% proficient in Math. Meanwhile, Jefferson Middle and Surfside High (Continuation) struggle, with only 10-24% proficiency in core subjects and very low graduation rates.
Across the district, chronic absenteeism is a significant concern, ranging from 13.6% at Santa Margarita Elementary to 82.2% at Surfside High (Continuation). Student-teacher ratios also vary considerably, with the highest-performing elementary schools generally having better ratios. The data highlights the challenges faced by students in alternative and continuation settings, where graduation rates are much lower and dropout rates are significantly higher.
