Summary:
The San Gabriel Unified School District in California serves a diverse community, with 8 schools including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district's schools display a wide range of academic performance, with standout institutions like Gabrielino High School and Jefferson Middle School consistently ranking among the top schools in the state, while others, such as Roosevelt Elementary, struggle with lower proficiency rates.
The district's academic performance is generally strong, with the average 11th-grade English Language Arts/Literacy proficiency rate of 70.18% significantly exceeding the state's 55.41%. However, there are significant disparities, with Gabrielino High boasting a 95.7% four-year graduation rate and a low 1.5% dropout rate, while Del Mar High struggles with an 81% graduation rate and a 4.8% dropout rate. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern across the district, ranging from 15% at Gabrielino High to 66.7% at Del Mar High.
The data suggests a strong correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced-price lunch eligibility, and academic performance. Schools with the highest rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Roosevelt Elementary and Del Mar High, tend to have the lowest proficiency rates. Overall, the San Gabriel Unified School District faces the challenge of addressing these disparities and ensuring more equitable outcomes for all students.
