San Juan Unified

The San Juan Unified School District in California serves 66 schools, including 41 elementary schools, 9 middle schools, 15 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district showcases a mix of high-performing and underperforming schools, with significant disparities in academic achievement, graduation rates, and other key metrics across the schools.

Among the standout schools in the district are Meraki High, which ranks 50th out of 2,335 California high schools and has exceptional academic performance, with 93.75% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 60% proficient or better in Mathematics. Other top-performing elementary schools include Green Oaks Fundamental Elementary and Cambridge Heights Elementary, both of which have 4-star ratings and strong test scores across grades 3-5.

However, the district also faces significant challenges, with wide disparities in student outcomes. Graduation rates range from a low of 52.9% at La Entrada Continuation High to a high of 95.2% at Casa Roble Fundamental High. Chronic absenteeism rates vary from 11.5% at Del Dayo Elementary to 92.5% at La Entrada Continuation High. Addressing these equity and access issues will be crucial for the San Juan Unified district moving forward.
