Summary:
The Oroville Union High district serves grades 9-12 through three high schools in a predominantly economically disadvantaged area, with overall academic performance ranking below the state average.
Among the schools, Oroville High shows the strongest academic results, particularly in English Language Arts where it nears the state average, and it maintains a graduation rate above 91%. Las Plumas High, the largest school, demonstrates consistent performance over time with graduation rates similar to Oroville High. Prospect High (Continuation) is a much smaller alternative school with different challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism and a lower graduation rate, despite having significantly more funding and staff per student.
Key takeaways for the district include a shared struggle with mathematics proficiency across all schools and a strong link between attendance and academic success. The higher graduation rates at Oroville and Las Plumas High suggest effective student support systems. The wide variation in performance between schools indicates that successful strategies, particularly in literacy from Oroville High, could be valuable to share district-wide to help improve overall outcomes.
