Summary

Thomas E. Mathews Community is a small public high school serving grades 7-12 in Marysville, California, with an enrollment of just 22 students, making it one of the smallest high schools in the state. The school is part of the Yuba County Office of Education district, which is ranked 1523 out of 1565 districts in California and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small size, Thomas E. Mathews Community stands out for its consistently poor academic performance, ranking in the bottom 5-10% of California high schools over the past decade. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 36.0% to 87.0%, well below the state average, and its dropout rate has been very high, ranging from 7.8% to 62.9%. Across all subject areas and grade levels, the school has 0% of students scoring proficient or better on state assessments, significantly lower than the already low scores of the surrounding districts and the state as a whole. Additionally, the school has had chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 20.4% to 87.8%, which is extremely high, and over 95% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating very high levels of poverty among the student population.

In contrast, the nearby schools like River Valley High, Marysville High, and Marysville Charter Academy for the Arts have relatively strong performance. The combination of extremely small enrollment, high poverty, and low funding (as indicated by the Yuba County Office of Education district's low ranking) likely contribute to Thomas E. Mathews Community's very poor academic outcomes and high dropout rates, which have shown little to no improvement over time.
