Summary:
The Yuba County Office of Education district in California has only one high school, Thomas E. Mathews Community, which serves grades 7-12 and has an enrollment of 22 students. This public high school has consistently ranked in the bottom 5% of California high schools based on its poor performance metrics.
Thomas E. Mathews Community has a 4-year graduation rate of 86.4%, which is below the state average, and a dropout rate of 8.9%, which is higher than the state average. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism at 20.4% and very low proficiency rates of 0% in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on standardized tests. Despite the school's small class sizes and high per-student spending of $55,402, it has not been able to translate these resources into positive academic outcomes for its students.
While the school's graduation rate is relatively high considering its other performance challenges, the data suggests that Thomas E. Mathews Community is a struggling high school that is not meeting the needs of its students, 95.45% of whom come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the school's poor performance and identify potential strategies for improvement.
