Anzar High's data suggests that the school faces several challenges, including a high percentage of Hispanic and low-income students, lower-than-average academic performance in Mathematics, and increasing chronic absenteeism. These factors may be contributing to the school's fluctuating graduation rates and higher dropout rates compared to the state average. Nearby schools, such as Christopher High, have a higher percentage of White and Asian students, as well as better academic performance in both ELA and Mathematics, while Watsonville High has an even higher Hispanic student population and lower academic performance compared to Anzar High. To address these issues, the school and Aromas - San Juan Unified School District may need to focus on targeted interventions and support for underperforming student subgroups, as well as strategies to improve attendance and engagement.
