Summary:
The Aromas - San Juan Unified district in California consists of three schools serving grades K-12, with a total enrollment of 964 students across two elementary schools and one high school in a community with significant economic need.
Among the schools, Anzar High stands out as the district's strongest performer, with a 90.6% graduation rate and lower dropout and chronic absenteeism rates than state averages. At the elementary level, Aromas consistently outperforms San Juan in English and math, though San Juan shows a relative strength in science. Notably, all three schools have shown declining statewide rankings in recent years.
Key areas for attention include a severe math performance gap at the high school, where proficiency is far below the state average despite strong English scores, and concerningly low math scores in certain elementary grades. While per-student spending is above the state average, outcomes vary, suggesting factors beyond funding impact results. The district's higher-than-average graduation rate and lower dropout rate at the high school level are positive indicators of student support.
