Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified

Summary:

The Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified district operates 13 schools serving grades K-12 in the Yucaipa and Calimesa area, showing a wide range of performance where some schools excel while others face significant challenges.

Standout schools include Competitive Edge Charter Academy (CECA), the district's top performer with strong test scores and remarkably low chronic absenteeism, and Yucaipa High, which boasts an outstanding graduation rate of 97.7%. In contrast, Calimesa Elementary and Oak View High School & Education Center need support, with Oak View having extremely high chronic absenteeism and low graduation rates despite receiving the highest per-student funding in the district.

Overall, the district's academic proficiency lags behind state averages, and chronic absenteeism is a concern, particularly at the middle school level and in alternative high schools. The performance gap between schools is substantial, with elementary schools ranging from the 69th to the 8th percentile statewide, indicating uneven educational experiences. The district's graduation rate exceeds the state average, largely driven by the success of Yucaipa High.
