Hanford Community Day

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Hanford Community Day is a small public high school in Hanford, California, serving grades 9-12 with just 27 students. As part of the Hanford Joint Union High School District, which has a 2-star rating, Hanford Community Day faces significant challenges compared to the surrounding high schools in the district.

Hanford Community Day has a higher percentage of Hispanic students than nearby schools, but consistently performs below district and state averages in standardized test scores. The school also struggles with a low 76.9% four-year graduation rate, a high 15.4% dropout rate, and an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 56.9% to 79.4% in recent years. These metrics are significantly worse than the surrounding Sierra Pacific High, Hanford West High, and Hanford High. Hanford Community Day's performance is more comparable to that of Earl F. Johnson High (Continuation), another struggling school in the district.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Hanford Community Day, ranging from 74.07% to 81.82%, suggests the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the challenges the school faces. The data indicates that Hanford Community Day would benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues contributing to the school's poor performance, such as low academic achievement, high dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism.
