Summary:
The 91106 zip code area in California is home to two schools - Blair High School and Twentieth Street Elementary School. While Blair High School serves grades 6-12 with a diverse student population, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and has a lower-than-average graduation rate. In contrast, Twentieth Street Elementary has a unique racial makeup with no students identifying as belonging to any of the reported racial categories, and it faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates.
Academically, both schools struggle, with proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments and the California Science Assessment (CAST) falling below the Pasadena Unified School District and Los Angeles Unified School District averages. This is likely exacerbated by the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at both schools, with over 66% of Blair High School students and 95% of Twentieth Street Elementary students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The data analysis reveals significant challenges facing the schools in the 91106 zip code, including declining academic performance, high rates of chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic barriers. These findings suggest that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the unique needs of these schools and their student populations, with the goal of improving educational outcomes and opportunities for the community.
